Ive cut out 90% of my bloodline because of their abuse. They say things like “we are family” yet that same family sat back & did NOTHING while I was beign starved, excessively beaten or had my first suicide attempt at 11 years old. I was always the “problem child”. In their story, im the villain & will gladly hold that badge. I havent had contact with my birth giver in years. I havent spoken to my grandparents in a very long time because they too try to manipulate me into “having a relationship with my mother”. First of all, a REAL mother doesnt poison her childs food with medications she stole from the hospital or restrict it a childs food. A REAL mother doesnt excessively beat on a child because she lacks emotional intelligence. A REAL mother doesnt torture her child with needles while she was going through nursing school. In an abusive family dynamic, there is no safe parent in the household. Why is this? Because the parent who may not be abusing you like the other parent is, is just as responsible because they sat back & let it happen. They will say things like “i stayed to protect you”. No, you stayed because the abuse was comfortable to you & you are trauma bonded to your abuser. Period. If i was “protected”, none of that would have happened to me. Taking accountability or responsibility isnt hsrd to do unless you are on the higher end of the narcissistic spectrum. #boundaries #healingjourney #narcissisticmother #narcissisticparents #childhoodtrauma #childhoodmemories #abusivemother #parents #relationships #childhoodruined
