Therapist here. I could not be more proud of you. Untangling trauma and grief is unbelievably hard and your willingness to speak about your pain gives others permission to do that too. Two things can be true at the same time- you can be irrevocably hurt that your parents didn’t protect you and simultaneously miss who they could be and what you wish they would be. There’s no rule book on how to navigate this stuff. You are SO much stronger than you give yourself credit for. ❤️

Let’s get something straight right now… at NO point during your life was this your fault. Not then, not 10 years ago, not five years ago, not yesterday nor today. It was NEVER your fault! Do you hear me?

Please don’t delete this. You’ve never told your story and now you’ve shared. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. Your parents might’ve dismissed you, but over 2,000 people are here supporting you in the comments. We are all so proud of you. I am so sorry you and your sister had to experience this

You ARE a victim and you get to decide how you feel about the adults who failed you. I pray you have the beautiful future you deserve! 🥰

Please hear me when I say this. First. No contact. Second. EMDR therapy like yesterday. Not saying no contact forever is what you want. But give yourself a chance to at least be of clearer mind, healing, and finding yourself before making the final call. Prioritize yourself especially when no one else does. You deserve it.

My heart goes out to you both. EMDR therapy has been immensely helpful on my own healing journey (speaking as the parentified child)

I hope you can get some help to get through this and let go of the anger you've got, not because you're not entitled to it, you absolutely have a right to be angry, but for your own sense of peace and wellbeing. No one deserves what you went through, I just hope you can find peace and happiness.

You were the child. He was supposed to parent and protect you. He did not. That has not been and will ever be your fault. And frankly, if you want to go no contact I wouldn’t blame you. He needs to be building you up not bringing you down.

You don’t owe your parents anything. Not even a relationship. I’m so sorry for the hurt they caused.

Sweet friend. Reading “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” changed my life. I cannot recommend it more.
