boundaries

I've learned to set boundaries with my loved ones. For instance, I am uncomfortable with sexual topics. My partner said she respects me and doesn't want to upset me so she's toned down her sex jokes and innuendos. She said she's willing to work on helping me explore my sexuality if I am ready someday.

I also have a boundary with my mom. She's just so negative and judgemental of my life. She said I'm doing bad things with my life. So the last time we spoke, 2 weeks ago, I hung up with her because she was just awful. And I'm sticking with not talking to her. She's not a good person. I deserve better treatment.

But sometimes those boundaries feel wrong. When my mom is nice to me I enjoy our chats. But they're rare these days. And I used to have a sexual relationship with my partner 7 years ago. We're comfortable around each other but I just panic when I get close to her. I'm working on addressing my boundaries. I just need time.

Finding out I was psychologically abused by my parents has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to face. Setting boundaries with them was even harder. Finally, cutting them out of my life because they're too wrapped up in their own toxic mess has been heartbreaking.

The self doubt, shame and guilt that has come from this whole journey has been debilitating. I haven't wanted to go to work, I have barely been surviving.

Constantly thinking that it was all my fault and maybe if I wasn't around my family would be different or I'm a horrible daughter for treating them this way, for cutting them out, for not speaking to them.

I've still have a long, long way to go. For anyone out there struggling with this too, I'm not going to lie, it is difficult and it is painful.

But I wouldn't change this struggle for anything. I found my inner child and I am learning to cherish her. I have an imagination again, I'm laughing genuinely for the first time in a long time. And that is beautiful. #PTSD #Parents #Alcoholism #pyschologicalabsue #MentalHealth #boundaries

My mom calling my dad an Effing Coward, them calling each other names my mom especially putting him now, sister and mom fighting, me and my mom lately not getting along either or avoiding each other. It’s a little hard.
