I am so good at being quiet to go unnoticed. My mum doesn't even know who I am

It felt like a smack I didn’t see coming. I learned to be very ashamed of myself and my mom hopes I still feel that way. She decided to not be in my life anymore when I decided not to be ashamed of myself.❤️

As an adult, if I express a big feeling (happiness, mild annoyance), I get punished, even if just with a look

You completely nailed this 😳 I’m currently listening to this audio book and it’s so validating. We deserved so much better 🫶

when my mom got her bipolar diagnosis (instead of simply depression) in my early 20s a big portion of my childhood made sense - still working on healing the core beliefs that came from it and she's been passed for 13 years

thats how I thought , that I am not important, that others are much important, that I should not be selfish and that mechanism is still in me but is much less than it was.

and then at 37, you're doing somatic work to learn what you actually enjoy because the only things safe to like were what she liked and I'm just like her unless I'm doing something she didn't like, then I'm just like my dad. turns out I effing love airplanes, specifically cargo planes and I don't really love or even prefer chocolate. but airplanes, specifically cargo planes, are "just like your father" and chocolate is her favorite.

The people in my family all wallowed in their own & everyone else’s misery so much that anytime I or anyone else was happy, that called for bullying and being made fun of.

It made me a victim! I always said: this great thing happened… but it wasn’t that great.
