@kattheunpackologist: You can understand your mother’s history, pain, and survival while still telling the truth about what being her daughter cost you. Compassion does not require erasing your own experience. #MotherDaughterRelationship #GenXWomen #DaughterWound #FamilyDynamics #UnpackWithKat
“When bringing up your own hurt, would become another conversation about hers” Every. Conversation. Thank you— I feel seen. 💚💜

Girrllll it’s like you know me. This one made me tear up…. It was always about her and her life. And I was invisible to her. Until she wanted me to do something for her.

We don’t speak, but I make sure my relationship with my own daughter is different.

My mother is one of 9 children raised by a schizophrenic mother. There are many deep emotional wounds in her. My struggles pale in comparison. So they were just brushed aside. Unfortunately it comes off uncaring to me. I understand where she comes from, I have compassion for her and I give her a ton of grace forever. But I still deserve to be loved back.

Whewww don’t get me started Pat….she also trained me to deal with my dads anger and make concessions in the way she did asking me to understand her complicated marriage before I understood my relationship with my dad. And yet I love my mother because I understand (or rather was made to understand) her why

Penny n Dancer 🦄 🇨🇦 :
My mom was just barely 17 when I was born and she treated me as her friend, her sister, her confidante...I knew too much about her and her actions put me in a position of judging her character and protecting my younger sisters from her. I moved 3800 km across the country to get away from her. Now I have a daughter and a granddaughter. We are constantly dealing with the generational trauma left by my mom. There is nothing I want to pass on to that sweet granddaughter except joy, strength, and courage.

and when I tried to tell her what being that child was like .. all she responded with was her victimization and how I became part of the problem. She had me to love her and not to have someone to love and it became clear.

I set firm boundaries with my mom in a compassionate way and she still calls me hateful and says I “brutalized” her. 🙄

I learned to shut up about my hurts a long time ago. To this day, no one would believe me about what she said and did to me. 😞🙃
