Reminder to self:
If you choose to tell your parents that you’re tired of being belittled, cut off from expressing how they make you feel, ignored and how they’re not trying to break the cycle, yet repeating it. Know that they may spazz on you.

I’m not a child anymore. I had to speak up for myself as an adult. I’m praying that I will still have a place to sleep tonight, but I had to. I am her child, but I am also an adult. I have to place boundaries. She thinks I’m degrading her by speaking my truth, but I’m not.

It’s very hard to confront your parent about how you feel especially if they’ve made it difficult for you to express yourself over the years. If this what your case, it may have affected you as you grew up, when it came to confronting others. But, you gotta do it some day.

Parents will make your feel like you’re degrading them and trying to start an argument when you’re really just trying to them something. No one likes to hear about hurt they are causing and you’ll see that when they get defensive and start to blow up. Triggered. Know that you

planted a seed. They don’t have to yell, but it makes them feel like they’re getting a point across. No. How long are we supposed to take blows? Our whole life? No you’re not!!
