    I was the designated Scapegoat in my family. It went on for decades into my late adult life. I had to go No Contact with the entire lot of them because my Malignant Narcisist/Borderline mother, who was extremely violent when I was a child, trained the siblings to start attacking me in adulthood. She also poisoned family members and close friends against me. They NEVER change, they get worse with age.

      Your story is very similar to mine. I am the only daughter of a narcissist mother who I think has borderline or hypomania bipolar. She would never go to a therapist of course. She literally hated me even as an infant and I believe she would have killed me, but she needed to trap my dad into supporting her. She was cruel all my life, using my brothers to help her make fun of me. She also told relatives lies to make them think I am a horrible person. She is 78 now and no repentence in sight. You made correct choice going no contact. I hope I can someday.

    I'm sure I've infringed on my kids boundaries at some point, probably without realizing it... But I am so grateful that the extreme boundary violations I had as a kid caused me to respect my kids boundaries as a general rule.
    I've never gone exploring through their rooms or read their journals. I also never placed a drop of shame on sexuality, and explained what happened with circumcision and apologized if I got the decision wrong, letting them know I consulted the men in the family and they all unanimously said yes and offered to pay for it...
    I also researched vaccination so in depth and saw so much foul play and corruption, that I didn't infringe on their right to decide for themselves, as they had way stronger immunity than most other kids...
    I think I over shared some stuff though and it wasn't clear to me where the line was on that... And I had some sergeant mom moments, but I always considered the fragility of an external locus of control... That one day I wouldn't be there and it has to come from the inside.
    I'm probably unaware of some harm I've caused, but I think the worst of it was the only two people I had willing to watch my twins so I could have some moments to decompress were narcissists. They damaged one of my boys really badly and I handed them over to these people cuz I had no idea how else to manage with them on my own.
    My greatest regrets with my kids are the people I allowed them to be exposed to, and how ineffective I was at find them good role models...
    Where I go easy on myself is that I was only 22 when I was assaulted and I had no professional help or real life support to single parent twins. I was alone with two infants who were the opposite gender, so there were loads of ways I had no idea what I was doing and the way I managed, all things considering with my CPTSD, from a young age, I did really good. Most wouldn't have the constitution to pull it off the way I did under the circumstances I faced.
    Now I just gotta go help clean up the messes I was part of and as I heal me, help my kids see a path to healing for themselves and be there waiting to dive into every hurtful thing they need to tell me, so we can all be free and the day I have grand babies will be the start of the generation that broke free of multigenerational trauma.
    Healthy me. Help my kids. Healthy grandkids. That's the plan...
    Then show others how I did it. How many families can we help break free?

      It’s beautiful that you’re willing to acknowledge what you did well and also ways you could’ve done things better. My mom will not under any circumstances acknowledge her neglect of us 4 of her children. My sister even wrote her a letter expressing her feelings and my mom ripped it up, cursed her out and through the pieces of the letter out of the car window as she drove off. My husband’s mom told him while she was living with us that if he and his sister had told her that they’re father was dangerous she would’ve divorced him way before. Like seriously blame your kid for you remaining with a man who stole food with nothing else to eat, smoked crack, utilities constantly being shut off and them having to witness his rage as well as hers. My mother in-law and mom both blame their husbands for everything. Not cool at all.
      I admire that you are compassionate towards your children and take ownership of your own actions while raising them. They are very fortunate to have you. 🌸 💗

It was their way or my brother and I were punished beyond measure. He’s an alcoholic and I am a workaholic, people pleaser. Today, I have a few boundaries which is an improvement over no boundaries

    • @grownknow6857
      @grownknow6857 Před měsícem

      The steps of healing are extremely gradual, and begin with physical distance from the triggering person. If we are in an emotional flashback in which we are reliving the childhood trauma and truly do believe our fear sensations, then it's best to get to a safe place and work through the emotional flashback. You can learn about this in Pete Walker's book cptsd. In this safe space, you can let your inner child out, let her have all of her emotional reactions, and also understand it from your adult logical perspective. This gives you increasingly more understanding of your reactions to people that are trauma-based. Yes, a person and your adult life might be a narcissist, but your reaction to them is usually an emotional flashback since in reality you don't need to be so terrified of them since you're an adult and you can fend for yourself. That being said, this terror needs to be faced very very slowly. It's called titration. And like I said you have to face it by yourself first. If you do feel this terror and you are in the presence of someone that is triggering it, remove yourself quickly and start investigating the experience of this terror in your body through meditation and other practices that make you safe. You have to start with your own body for healing. Where else can you start? The trigge triggered feelings, which are actually emotional flashbacks, occur inside your own body. So to answer your question more broadly, create a distance and a space from whatever is triggering you and feels like it's violating your boundary. As time goes on, you'll be able to have less distance, but you have to practice this diligently.

    Re "the forbidden thing".
    A very big part of the problem is so few have a good explanation as to why a thing is forbidden. Platitudes and appeals to the majority are flung around and if you have an above average brain you will be needing good reasons and there are no good reasons - just a lot of stupid, intellectually cowardly and dishonest referrals to "authority" (which itself has next to nothing to commend it).
    One of the quickest things in the universe is a human being finding an excuse to not think.
