@drsherrymaxy: The part that hurts isn’t only what happened. It’s realizing how much energy went into protecting the image instead of protecting you. #EmotionallyImmatureParents #MotherWound #MotherDaughterRelationship #AdultDaughters #EmotionalNeglect
She wants a closeness and friendship that she didn’t foster, she wants me to be on the phone with her or going over all the time but I spent my childhood alone or being abused. And she has the nerve to get mad when I’m not available for this mother/daughter relationship she has cooked up.

100% not just protect her .. pretend she wasn’t abusive and made everything about her.. I am so angry and I just can’t get over it.. and no one understands or always say it wasn’t that bad.. her anger and demons ruined my entire child hood

Didn’t protect, didn’t teach, treated me like an adult, I had to take care of myself financially since I was in 8th grade if that… and now that I made something of myself regardless of the odds I was given… I’m expected to take the burden of urgently meeting her needs, protecting the family image, being a taxi service….. she’s capable to do those things… but where was she when I was not capable to meet my needs as a child but had to anyways? And even though I know my truth, I still feel bad for her. I feel guilty for letting her down. But she doesn’t feel guilty or sorry for all of my developmental years being completely ruined. And all the therapy I do, the meds I take… none of this work will ever change that these are the cards I’ve been dealt. I will always have an emptiness where her love should have been.

lovelightandchaos :
I’m angry because she wants me to do lots of things that she could do for herself, but chooses not to because she feels I owe it to her because she gave me life. She has literally told me this.

My mother was so verbally abusive. My father passed when I was 23 and she looked at me and literally said it’s your fault he died.

It's like she keeps trying to make withdrawals from an account she never made deposits into. I didn't get patience, grace, compassion and kindness. Now she wants me to give that to her. I can't do it, and how dare she expect me to.

Protecting the image was always the goal. Not protecting her children from him.

Very insightful content. I think it’s not just about protecting the image but expecting their children to show up in a way that they were not able to show up for their children.

That one :
She got in the way of every friendship,she didn't want me seeking help anywhere. Not for my life and not for my sanity. When she told me she let me lose my job I realised that the mother Ive Deen fighting to have never existed

Seiya :
Everything had always been about her but there was one situation that finally opened my eyes completely. I have multiple sclerosis and I also had cancer. During my radiotherapy my mom and dad came to stay with me for a week (I live in another country) supposedly to 'support' me. Yet every single day, they would ask me, 'so, what are we doing today?' and 'what have you planned for us?' They expected me while going through radiotherapy to organize activities and entertainment for them ...

Sebrina :
This! Add to it that how my mom will get on the phone and gossip for hours. She lies or exaggerates. She loves drama b/c it gives her something to talk about. THEN she literally expect me not to defend myself with my family or call her out. She has no issue ruining my image but expects me to protect hers. She gets so upset when she knows I’m speaking to my family.
