“you can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick”
i didn’t get this until someone put it into words. i’d never understand why i always felt better when i locked myself alone in my room rather than spending time with my toxic family. i never understood why i was bubbly and outgoing when i was with my friends but my energy was immediately drained the second i got home. i didn’t understand why regardless of the effort i put into healing i would keep getting triggered by people in my family. i never understood it until i read that sentence and it all just clicked. i can’t heal in an environment where the people are benefiting from my suffering. where the people don’t want to change the behaviour which affects me negatively.

One of the worst realizations that I have ever made is realizing that all I ever wanted was to be loved by my parents. I never would've turned out like this if they just loved me unconditionally.

My mother was prone to fits of towering rage, but she was completely incapable of reflection and never sought to investigate the reasons for her emotions. ... Whenever I defended myself against this unjust treatment, sometimes going so far as to actually prove my innocence to her, she interpreted this as a systematic attack on her person and frequently retaliated with ferocious punishments. She confused emotions with facts. As she felt attacked by my explanations, she took it for granted that I was actually attacking her. A capacity for reflection would have been necessary for her to realize that the real reasons for her feelings has nothing to do with my behaviour. But remorse was completely foreign to her. Not once did she apologize to me or express any kind of regret. She was always "in the right".

revelation of the day: women who experienced a prolonged loss of girlhood and had their childhood innocence robbed are often the bitter mothers obsessed with “the feminine” and passing their flawed notion of femininty onto their daughters. this of course also applies to women who were exposed early on to society’s ideas of femininity

TW: eating disorders
There is something so unique about the flavòr of disordered eating that daughters inherit from the mothers who use them as a personal therapist, dumping heedless complaints about their own body image struggles, diet attempts, “don’t ever get fat, remember that, you’ll never be able to lose it again,” and “I’m so desperate to lose weight” and “when you get fat, no one loves you anymore.”
Never paying any thought to how it impacts the daughter. 🙃

Mother's will really say the most vile shit to their daughters and still sleep like as if it hasn't changed the trajectory of my existence
So you want me to be here or just stop ?

It's terrible knowing that if I ever show sadness or show anything emotion that's not positive towards anything whether it's my fault or not I'll either get blamed for it or told that my emotions are irrational.

I wasn’t always this introverted and socially anxious… but I was made that way, by you.

Just to give you an idea of how f*cked up my mother is as a human being, she's been washing all the dishes for the last week except my cup, that's been in the sink for more than 7 days. Because i must clean it. I just noticed it because I haven't gone in the kitchen in more than a week (I can't touch their leftovers because I'd be stealing everybody's food, even if they don't eat it and everything ends up in the trash if I don't eat it).
Tumblr media
She even went as far as to take it to my bedroom. This cup hasn't been washed in a week, left in the sink as it was while she washed the other dishes, because she's angry at me.
And I have no one to talk to except people on the Internet. More people who don't care about me and just don't see me.
Currently waiting for the shower to be available again so I can go to the psychologist for a free coffee... I have to take this present to a friend who couldn't even be bothered to reply to my messages and tell me when we could meet, for more than two weeks. So, yeah...
At least I have guitar lesson later... I can only afford this second month and everything will go to hell again...
And then another afternoon and evening all alone...

I don't care how old your children are, parents should never talk shit about their kids within earshot.

The thing about a mother's hate is that it's not that different from a mother's love

I just love it when my mom complains about doing mom things like taking care of her children she had and being a mom.
