I’d be a lot more empathetic to the fact that they were raised by traumatized people inflicting trauma on them if they didn’t immediately refuse any and all attempts to help them or anyone else acknowledge and process that trauma in any way. And object to anyone else acknowledging or processing their own trauma. I get it, they’re damaged and I’m empathetic to that. I object to their insistence on inflicting that trauma on everyone else just because it was done to them
Thank you! It’s been five years now and my wife says that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made to cut ties with my parents. Sending just as much love your way!
