NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HOW DRAINING IT IS WHEN YOUR MOOD IS CONSTANTLY SWITCHING BETWEEN "KEEP GOING, IT'LL GET BETTER" AND "I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE I'M ABOUT TO GIVE UP"
all relationships can survive mistakes, but they cannot survive patterns. repeated behavior isn’t a mistake, it’s a decision, apologies lose meaning when the actions never change.
no one talks about the angry daughter.
she’s the daughter that no one has ever worried about, because she was always hyper-independent. she’s the one who used to be so patient, empathetic, loving, caring and understanding. until it got to the point where she was drained, emptied out, and crying from everyone leaning on her. she got worn out from all the responsibilities, from people-pleasing, to constantly adjusting to everyone else’s needs and being everything to everyone all at once. now, she’s always tired, frustrated, angry, irritated, and depressed but she still shows up, still provides, still stands tall, but she’s at her breaking point. she doesn’t know how much more she can take living this way. she just wishes someone would show up for her the way she does for everyone else
