Sometimes I feel like I’m on top of things and don’t feel like my trauma defines me and I don’t feel so ashamed and scared. Other times I want to hide from the world and feel like a **** (I’m not going to say the word here since I don’t want to trigger anyone) 😭, I feel so ashamed that I don’t want people to know

@creative_writer absolutely true, our parents behaviours become models for our own - so watching your folks argue and feeling compelled to take a side would have been quite impactful. And yep living in a society that is still filled with toxic patriarchal values, toxic masculinity, and toxic monogamy culture has sooo many impacts on us all. Unlearning and deconstructing the things we're taught to be truth, even when they're not, is effortful work.
Aww bless ya mumsie! Sounds like she's found all sorts of ways to save money and make housework easier. Love it 😉
I'm off for tonight hun, glad to continue our chat and we can always come back to it tomorrow if you like. Hope it's a gentle evening for you 💜
