My question is: what do you do with all of that anger?

yep, this is why I talk to my parents less and less as I get older. I can't make myself put the show on anymore.

You literally have to choose being authentic to yourself or a relationship with them. They can’t or won’t allow for both. I sold myself out for a very.long.time. 😔

this is the best description I've ever heard for why I'm exhausted after even short visits with my mom.

Thank you for explaining this so well. I’m trying to heal my inner child and I really needed to hear this today. I never had words for what I’m

that's why I stopped texting my mom, it was so hard to not be able to answer her 'how are you' honestly

The hardest part has been carrying the “blame” for the relationship not thriving. My mom will never admit it’s her actions and not mine.

I’m low contact with my mom. She asked for things to go back to how they were, spending time together, etc AND THEN, MAYBE improve our relationship. Completely backwards

Is this why we have the same three conversations every single time we talk (always about her, of course)

My Mom didn’t tell me my grandma was dying and I told her it hurt me bc I didn’t get to see her before she passed. She refused to acknowledge my feelings. I don’t know what to do. It’s a pattern.

This is a great explanation. Those with healthy parents can not understand how much lifting we do in these relationships

every time I think about reaching out I think about how exhausting and unfulfilling my relationship is going to be.

My parents know that I am alive, my garden is alive and I eat food/occasionally leave the house. Anything important does not reach them anymore.

Blind loyalty and the fakeness is why I went no contact. I couldn't handle it because the self abandonment was painful. ❤🥰

Im realizing that I’m now in my first week of probably not talking to my mom for a very long time…it’s freeing and scary.

All my mom and I can talk about are books that we are reading. She refuses to go deep with me and I’m the only child and don’t want to go no contact. It’s exhausting.
