Title: I've been talking to my sister about our childhood. Post by: Changingman on August 06, 2014, 03:38:09 AM Thanks for the advice, I've been talking to my sister about our childhood. It's much worst than I was even willing to accept. I didn't allow myself to think she was physically abusive but she was. There wasn't enough food in the house even though my dad was successful, she would shoplift from my sisters work and make her help. She took nearly half of the money we earned from our weekend jobs from age 9. The list is endless.
It's immensely hard to admit to yourself that your mother was so dysfunctional. Witch borderline. She lost her mother when she was very young and brought up by an family friend/aunt. It is just that simple. I'm really appreciating the hard work I've put into my life and own children. This last RS with BPD was a godsend really. The soul needs to sing. I think accepting that untreated emotional wounds get reinfected is vital. I have felt a real vitality come into me in the last year. I have tried to strip out all fake vanity. It has revealed a real strength. Thank you |
