As a woman, I empathize and grieve with my mother.
But as a daughter, I have a deep seated resentment and fear towards her.
And the resentment and fear has won.
Nothing is ever her fault. I’m always too sensitive and too ungrateful. Fuck me and my feelings.
Let’s ignore how I’m so scared of her that I would rather avoid her than talk to her about how she’s hurt me.
No, I’m just a child and I ALWAYS have to apologize for reacting to her emotional immaturity.
She never remembers telling me nasty things or how I DID explain myself to her. That’s obviously not enough so I MUST beg her for forgiveness and always apologize for things I’ve never said.
Idk. I feel like I’m going crazy. She always twists things around to make it seem like I’M the bad one.
I can count with my hands how many times she’s ever apologized to me.
Once.

My mother thought it would be appropriate to bring up something that is emotionally, mentally and financially exhausting me because I had simply asked her (politely) to turn down her music. It turned into a full blown argument where she gaslighted me and berated me. She wouldn’t listen to what I have to say and completely changed the subject of the argument to fit her victimhood narrative. I can’t see myself talking to her after this. We have arguments a lot but she’d never weaponised something that she knows hurts me.

Thinking about Httyd...hot and perhaps too personal take: To me, Httyd was more than anything else a movie about emotional starvation. And Forbidden Friendship was the sweetest, briefest celebration of relief from that.
Afterwards, everybody basically told Hiccup to man up “because that’s just life” and I will never forgive Httyd2 and Httyd3 for that.

I’m naturally a very vulnerable and emotional person in absolutely almost every aspect of my life except one. With my mother and in familial relationships and connections. I always said that I am not family oriented and I probably won’t be until I create and start my own family. I find that I have trouble when it comes to tolerating my mother and other members of my family when they start behaving badly or exuding toxic behaviors and ideas. I cannot even watch my mother cry about anything without becoming aggravated or annoyed, I cannot accept affection from my mother without becoming aggravated or annoyed and in the event that she starts trying to “parent” me or be a mother to me or demand my respect or obedience I’ve always become annoyed and aggravated. I fall into a spectrum really of having an anxious attachment style whilst having an avoidant dismissive attachment style in matters of family and within the home. Even throughout my mothers mistreatment, I don’t respond to it with sadness or crying I’m more likely to be angry and immediately be on the defense. But, I’m likely to respond with sadness and crying in other areas of my life that are equally as painful/frustrating or emotionally draining if not “more”.
I think that I am more closely anxiously attached in romantic relationships and connections within my life or I have been in the past and I am more avoidant dismissive avoidant in familial relationships.
I believe that, some of this is a result of me having an emotionally immature parent as well, I’ve been put in the position of an adult or a parent for a long time for someone who was supposed to be an adult/parent to me. So, to see vulnerability or emotional instability within my parent, or to feel affection from my parent, does not go over well with me at all and triggers me.
I’ve also noticed that it is extremely difficult for me to build profound relationships with members of my family. Even those that I love or admire, I’m not as moved by them as I would be people who are apart of other aspects of my life who aren’t related to me. I have siblings, and people always tell me that I hive off only child energy and I’ve always remained unattached to them and am not tolerant or patient of any of their behaviors that are harmful or toxic to me or others. Deaths in the family don’t necessarily shake me either, even if I love and admire you in my own way.

Ana: wow I don't feel like kissing this random woman I just met, I just keep thinking about Mariana. Guess that means I'm not a lesbian.
No Ana, it's not that you're not lesbian. It's that you're still in love with Mariana.

TW: eating disorders
There is something so unique about the flavòr of disordered eating that daughters inherit from the mothers who use them as a personal therapist, dumping heedless complaints about their own body image struggles, diet attempts, “don’t ever get fat, remember that, you’ll never be able to lose it again,” and “I’m so desperate to lose weight” and “when you get fat, no one loves you anymore.”
Never paying any thought to how it impacts the daughter. 🙃

Why is the only way boomers know how to interact with their adult children is to “joke” by making fun of everything they say or do? Especially in front of other people. You wonder why I don’t want to hang out with you. You make me feel like shit every time I see you.

Parental and sibling abuse ment. F-cked relatives ment. Siblings gf.
My parents are always talking about weird shit in the other rooms. Like “her parents were crazy omg” so were you??? Lmao you guys are pedophile protectors, kind of pedos yourselves, abused children, pathological liars, and hate everyone who isn’t some white straight conservative. I think they were talking about my brothers girlfriend bc they mentioned her name after in the same conversation. My brothers abusive toward her in minor ways I see it. My parents are probably like “it’s JuStIFiED” but like yall projecting you’re the abusers. My brother is a pedo protector too. They all protect each other. My aunt raped her son. Nobody cares I mentioned that years ago.

the first, like, two ghost chapters are so psychically damaging. i'm convinced there has never been a better cinematic representation of your parents debating whether you're incompetent or not while you're literally in the room with them.
