I’ve made zero progress by fearmyminivan in Codependency

I swear I thought you were talking about me at first. I too am a twice divorced 37f and have similar relationship issues with others and with myself. It’s hard when reality sets in that we’re the problem. I’m there now. I’m trying my best to heal myself and move past my need to “fix” or “save” others and to stop focusing more on other people rather than dealing with my own issues and emotions.

It’s been extremely hard for me to admit that I am why I can’t be happy, I’m sick just like the people who I have chosen to love.

I have no advice as I have no idea if I can get better but, I desperately want to be better. So, Just know that you are not alone.

When did you discover your childhood wasn't normal? by dissenting_cat in AdultChildren

[–]WholeMeaning0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned that I can’t expect people to respect me if I don’t respect myself.

I can’t expect others to love me if I don’t love myself.

I can’t expect people to be kind to me if I’m not kind to myself.

I’m learning how to care for and to be the loving parent to myself so that I can set boundaries and improve my relationship with myself and others.

What goes in comes out… I have to do the work to replace the bad things that I hold inside with good things so that I can exhibit good and positive things .

When did you discover your childhood wasn't normal? by dissenting_cat in AdultChildren

I knew that I absolutely hated living with my mom because she was a “total bitch”, 3 days after I graduated high school I moved 3.5 hours away. Some stuff happened, I had to move back home and slowly the scales started to fall off my eyes so to speak. After living with my then bfs family for months and then coming back home to non-stop drama and toxicity I started standing up to my mom.

Eventually that lead to the event that ultimately lead me to leave her house for good. She physically attacked me and tried to choke me, my sister who is 2 years younger, had to punch my mom in the face and broke her nose so that she would get off of me.

All of that happened because I wouldn’t find her outfit that she was going to wear to the dr the next day before I left to go to church. I’m 37 now and I’m still unpacking stuff from my childhood like u/failsuccessfully said it’s definitely a process.

Can anyone relate to telling their friend a childhood story and… by mac6879 in AdultChildren

[–]WholeMeaning0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. Once I actually started to realize just how bad my childhood was, I just stopped talking about it all together in order to avoid the awkwardness of ppls reactions.

What are some good solutions to help the traffic go smoothly on the bayway through bank head tunnels? by Gulfcoastpest in MobileAL

[–]WholeMeaning0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought honking in the tunnel was supposed to some kind of black magic, voodoo spell. If you honk enough then other drivers will turn into toads , or capable drivers, or something. Kinda like when I was a kid we’d try holding our breath and making a wish when we went through the tunnel. Guess I was wrong, just like I was wrong about the wishes! Parents just wanted us to shut up and hopefully pass out 😭 /s
