Title: Overwhelmed Post by: Deeblue on February 09, 2018, 04:13:26 PM Hi... .it’s been brought to my attention that I’ve been raised in an emotionally incestuous relationship with my mother. It’s a lot to take in.
My insecurities, guilt and blocks to moving forward all make sense now. I thought that it all came from having an alcoholic as a dad but now I know it’s coming from this as well. It’s lonely. I feel burdened by this. I feel like it’s so much to carry. I’m sad and angry. I feel like I want to mourn for my inner child but I’m also wanting to hold it together for my husband and son. It’s an awful feeling... . Title: Re: Overwhelmed Post by: Insom on February 09, 2018, 07:29:32 PM Hi, Deepblue! Welcome.
