Some of you may have caught the post about my brother before I removed it. Well the drama ensues.
I went against the advice of a friend and shared what my brother said with my dad. BIG MISTAKE! Dad went off, took it as if it was a personal attack on him from my bro. Then got pissed because I involved HIS friend (who has turned into my friend too) in our “private family affairs”. I won’t bore you all with the details but let’s just say, I learned a very big lesson here.
MUCH of my healing comes from growing up with a narcissist and then marrying one. Why am I using the term narcissist? Well I’m no expert, but the article i posted earlier pretty much describes my family. Not everyone. You see, my darling brother said horrific and vile things TO ME, ABOUT ME. It was MY feelings that got hurt. And guess what? During this whole fucking ordeal? Neither of my parents even asked me how my brother’s words made me feel.
Not even once.
It was ALL about them. Not me. Nope. My feelings weren’t of concern. In fact I’m relatively certain my dad hasn’t even asked about how I felt since I almost took my life last year. 🧐
Well Universe....WHAT’S NEXT?
If a child doesn’t feel safe talking to their parents about their feelings, fears, worries etc. that child will grow up believing they have to handle everything alone. My kids will NEVER have to handle it alone.
