  1. The state you’re in (calm vs. chaotic) changes your relationship to the pain, but it doesn’t necessarily stop the pain. You might still feel hurt when Mom misunderstands. However, from a grounded place, you can feel hurt without spiraling into “I’m broken” or “I’m a bad daughter.” The question isn’t really about avoiding topics or timing them better. It’s about: can you stay with yourself while feeling unseen? That’s the work. Family therapy helped me build that capacity. Not so I’d stop hurting, but so I could hurt without losing myself. hurt without losing myself. And advocate what i truly want to communicate rather than what i expect Mom to hear. tl;dr I am discovering what it’s like to not perform for acceptance, but instead speaking from clarity.
  2. i also have a habit of reaching out to Mom when things spiral out of control. i am learning to let go of needing her help and BAM i am able to resolve it all on my own. i realize my own Mind is self-deceiving itself. then i can love and relate to Mom without all the baggage

  4. How do you add one to your forum profile page? Is this a mod-only feature? I’ve only seen @Carl-Richard and @Osaid‘s profiles with one. It’s the banner that goes horizontal.

  10. Silverstein concert tonight… loved this band for a minute and finally get to see them live 🦋☺️
  11. 3 years ago, I left my family to live in solitude, a clean break from toxic dynamics so I could finally find myself. Best decision of my life. I had to step away from everything I was handed. The scripts, the assumptions, the roles, to discover what was actually true. Now that I’m beginning to find myself, I’m slowly coming back. It won’t happen overnight, but progress has been made. They’re starting to see me for who I am, not the role they forced me to be. I’m no longer the obedient little boy at the bottom of the hierarchy. I’m an autonomous woman—not above them, not below them. And if they slip back into old patterns, I put them in their place. I’m finally coming home, on my terms, not theirs.
  12. I didn’t come out of the closet. I simply realized the closet is fucking imaginary.
  13. A girl having a penis is completely acceptable. If someone had taught me this at age 8, I wouldn’t have lost 20 years of my life. Instead, I spent those years arduously unlearning shame, feeling like a prisoner in my own body and mind. The adults didn’t know then. They still don’t know now. The fact that this is even controversial goes to show how little anyone understand, and how much conformity and groupthink still runs the show. Even my own sister shamed me for having a penis at 15, when I started exploring my sexuality seriously. I had absolutely nobody to protect or validate me as a child, not even at home. I didn’t learn the highest truths from others—not academia, religion, books, teachers, family, or culture. I discovered them through means beyond logical proofs.
