And can we talk about the anxiety of walking on eggshells and over explaining yourself because you somehow always upset the parent when you’re trying so hard not to 😭😭😭

No seriously. My mom keeps trying to apologize for my childhood. I’m like no I’m kinda over that, more focused on what you did last week.

You mean like when I want to talk to my mom about how she’s hurt me and she takes it as an attack instead of a conversation

My mom will never not “make a little comment” to tear me down, subconscious or not, it’s just who she is

It’s death by a thousand cuts… it’s years of having to be the bigger person, the empath, to apologize when it wasn’t your fault… you just decide it’s not worth it anymore.

My mom recently brought up that she was at my first son's birth and stayed at the hospital with us after I repeatedly asked her to go. She said "but he was my first!"...no, you took my firsts.

Just went no contact. If you are considering it, please take my advice. Do it. All of your other relationships become so much more rewarding when you finally have the energy to put into them that’s

It’s because it never ends. Even in adulthood. And they never respect boundaries.

My mother acts like she’s oblivious as to why all three of us don’t really talk to her. I’m like did you ask yourself why all of us have struggled with addiction and mental illness?

Mal | Your Spiritual Bestie🌈✨ :
Precisely why I am no contact with my parents. I simply do not have the energy anymore to be on the receiving end of someone’s issues that refuses to take a look at themselves and do better.

I don’t know why I have to be my mom best friend now if I was treated like garbage and ignored when I was growing up

My problem is that I'm still treated like a child when I try to set boundaries and get belittled+ my emotions get invalidated

AMEN! But the botton line as a Gen X. Our parents aren’t doing the work at this age. It’s hard to understand. They aren’t capable. ❤️🩹
