Breaking the cycle by not having kids! I have severe mental illness and my fiancée does too so we don’t want to do that if we can avoid it. We’d rather adopt as I was taken away from my parents and I know there’s many kids that would love a home.

Because of emotional neglect my entire life, (mother had post partum depression and didn’t bond with me for my first year and a half, then stayed cold and distant until my late 30s) my nervous system has always been super sensitive to everything. Lights, sounds, etc. The worst of it is that Ive always been a very light sleeper and have trouble falling asleep since my childhood. It’s frustrating because all I want to do is sleep but can’t! Please tell me how I can rewire my nervous system and let it know it’s safe and all is well. I would love to be more like everyone else without having to resort to taking anxiety meds. Thank you 💖

Eventually I just stopped showing up. Made no sense to go sit silently at my mother's house, waiting for her to get drunk and mean again.

I have a love hate relationship with being the cycle breaker. I’m glad a lot of dysfunction will stop with me but it’s very isolating being the only person who feels it and heals it.

They actually thought that “forget about it” or “get over it” are them healing…?? 🤦🏻♂️I tried that for years and did the work and found out that’s the opposite of what a real healing process looks like

This is me. Granted many of the tools I needed to fully heal weren’t readily available until the last 10 years or so, but I’ve been trying to heal for years & knew even 40 years ago I was in an unsafe environment, there just wasn’t vocabulary for it. So I moved 600 miles away.

Never any apologies or repair. I knew they werent mad at me anymore when they talked to me again - whether that was hours or days or weeks.

I’m an HSP and a cycle breaker. I VOWED I’d never let my children question my love or feel that it’s conditional, like my mother with me. My wounds are very, very deep, but pouring my love into my children has helped me in so many ways.
