Am I the only person with a delusional parent? Like their sense of history is warped as fuck in regards to your childhood?
-
-
Especially if they explicitly tell you "you were abusive, this is why I choose not to interact with you". How you finna ignore that?
-
It's amazing the lengths people will go to in order to uphold false memories. To the point of delusion. To the point of isolation.
-
Like I have two parents. Both of whom didn't do completely right by me. At least my damn dad admits his absence was harmful.
-
But what do you tell the parent that was there that they still fucking sucked at the job? Like. lol
-
Parents need to stop thinking that being physically THERE and your kid not needing food/water/clothing/housing is enough.
-
Children are human beings. Not fucking pets that will be loyal to you once they're old enough to realize you sucked at the parenting shit.
-
They will remember everything you made them feel. And you'll have to answer to that one day. Why is holding parents accountable bad?
-
Why when you confront parents with their shortcomings are you met with feelings of nonchalance.
-
I've honestly come to the conclusion that healing for me might not include healing with my mother. Healing might mean moving on.
-
And I'm just gonna have to be okay with that because the other option is subjecting myself to more abuse for the sake of a flawed rship.
-
It took me being 20 to actually see the dynamic I had with my mother for what it really was. Toxic. 20 years.
-
It's taken me another 5 years to attempt to establish boundaries and build up a resistance to the toxicity.
-
Another year to actually DISTANCE myself from my mother and I've gotten to the breaking point where I know there's nothing else I have to do
-
Everybody's process is DIFFERENT. Everybody's lessons here on this earth are different. Don't you dare let anybody dictate yours.
