warning for: child abuse of…many kinds
It’s been a week. Narcissistic parents often hold their children emotionally and/or physically hostage, so that they can use them as a vessel to feel powerful through. Mine physically held me hostage for 21 years until my long distance partner had to make a drop of the hat decision to move me out on the spot when we came back from hanging out and discovered my mother had, yet again, ripped my room apart and expected me to sleep in her bedroom as a power play. After 24 years of the bullshit she made a mistake, accidentally cut off her only way to contact me in an effort to power play again, and I am running. I am dealing with the residual effects of stockholm syndrome and her brainwashing which is telling me to go back to her (trauma brain is..weird) but after being raised to be nothing more than an emotionless doll, I am no longer putting up with it.
