Your kids don’t owe you SHIT. You chose to have them. Throwing in their face what you do for them (I buy your clothes, feed you, etc.) is wack AF.. that’s shit you’re SUPPOSED to do for them.. also your job doesn’t end at 18. Thank you.
Growing up with a parent who's:
-highly reactive
-unpredictable
-puts the family on an emotionally roller coaster
...has us walking on eggshells.
Why This Leads To People Pleasing:
Bro idc what anyone says, you cannot convince me to camp at ANY event. Respectfully. There is not enough vibes in this world. Hotel life only for me. The only thing that could happen is they mess my reservation up & then I get an upgrade.
You’re safe.
They’re not mad at you.
You’re not a burden.
These are the stories of your past, not reality.
Your job in life isn’t to make everyone else comfortable.
It’s to be: you.
You’re safe now.
It’s my birthday. I’m 37 and I have some things I’d like to share, in no particular order.
1. No one thinks about you more than you do. That thing from two years ago that keeps you up at night? No one else remembers. Honor the memory and let it go.
You're safe.
You can stop being ashamed of your past.
You can stop creating stories that everyone will leave you.
Believe in your ability to get through anything.
Look how far you've come
You're safe now.
i really dislike when someone expresses to their partner how their partners actions hurt their feelings and that partner takes space from them in a manipulative way as a means to condition them to never stand up for themselves again.
