  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
