I have goosebumps reading this. Thank you for your share. I relate deeply to the feeling it is “just how our parent is”. Sending you so much love on your healing journey 🧡

Thank you for sharing this story Ella 🤎 I can relate deeply — I went no contact and had to block my mother last year after many years of emotional abuse. It was strange because I didn’t realise until after I stopped indulging in her madness that she was abusing myself and my siblings. Until then we’d shrugged it off as “just mum”. I don’t think I’ve processed it much yet either. But I’m slowly building up my body’s tolerance to stress and creating a foundation where healing and peace can be built upon.
