Your healing will bring out the emotional immaturity of your parents.

You’re doing the work. You’re placing boundaries. You’re working to reparent yourself. You feel good about your evolution.

But then....
..your mother makes that comment. Your father projects his insecurities. Your siblings then chime in. Now its a family affair..
Most adults are highly emotionally immature, so your evolution feels like a threat. They fear losing/changing connection, & dont know how to express it.
People see what they wanna see, and they hear what they wanna. This hurts our inner child because we’re so desperate to be seen by our parents.
Few of us understand in many ways that they themselves are wounded children.
You are breaking cycles. You WILL be misunderstood. DO the work ANYWAYS. There’s wisdom in this lack of understanding.
Confidence is waiting for you on the other side. Healing is waiting for you.
