It can start to make you wonder "do I have like a personality disorder" when you dont feel like you really know who you are after realizing I"m just who everyone needs...not sure who I'd be if nobody asked me to mother, wife, sister, daughter. 😞

yep, this is what my life has been like. even when I try to push through and share stuff now it always ends up being about them, which is fine because I love them and I care, but they don't really know ME.

This feels eerily accurate. I was loved and cared for. But the youngest of 4. I heard a lot of "that's nice" or "it's not that big of a deal just move on from it". I dont blame my parents, they had 4 kids all 2 years apart, 5 years separate me from the eldest. They were stretched thin. But I did turn into a more independent kid/adult in many ways. I have a hard time being open with people close to me because there's that underlying thought of "eh they're busy with their own life and struggles they don't need to hear about mine". I also became a sounding board for people, and was left vulnerable to narcissists who have no time or caring for others. It's been a long road of me learning these things and having a lot of realizations about how I act and feel now being the consequences of not feeling heard. It's a lot to unpack but it's worth it

This make me sad for my kiddos. I'm 54 and just starting to think about the trauma I just "got over" and told myself I was doing ok for my kids but I'm starting to realize how much my unaddressed trauma unintentionally hurt them when I couldn't be there emotionally for them as much as I would've liked. I dont even encourage them because it feels so unnatural. I'm glad its not too late to do better as I journey through EMDR this season.
