Everyone says a parent’s love is unconditional but I think it’s the other way round. A child’s love for their parent is actually the unconditional one. As a child, you can never have another parent, but your parents can definitely have other children.
I used wish I had different parents when I was a child lowkey still do even now
I’d be in bed imagining what it’ll feel like to have emotionally regulated parents that actually love me as a human being and don’t see me as an extension of themselves
Anytime I tell my mum that it's too late for us to be besties she starts to crash out. Like she literally has no recollection of how mean and unapproachable she use to be.
In her head, she was and has always been mother of the year. Girl bfr.
More than the obligatory love, no one talks about the trauma of watching an abusive parent "change" so you're left looking crazy and stuck on some "thing" that happened in the past
Much love, cyn ❤️
Lol the only reason I don't hold as much anger anymore is because I got the chance to traumatize mine back. I became a really evil child, she feared for her life. When I turned 16 I thought "I can't do this anymore" and went straight to retaliation

that stage where you become numb to your parents’ abuse<<<
like they could literally break your head in two and you’ll not bat an eyelid because of how desensitized you’ve become to it, it’s just another day and you’re just grateful they did not cut the head this time
Finally, we can have a conversation about abusive mothers without some proponents of the “mothers are misunderstood angels” narrative saying, “Give your mother some grace. It was her first time on earth.” Whatever that meant.
