Dear Care and Feeding: I don't feel safe entrusting my alcoholic parents with my child.
The eyelashes look cartoonish to me; they make her look like she’s not a serious person.”I have what may sound like a bizarre question—I mean, the answer should be obvious. But I’m struggling and could really use an unbiased perspective. It’s taken me decades of therapy to finally come to terms with the fact that I was physically and emotionally abused by my mother. I normalized the abuse by somehow convincing myself that all kids get hit, screamed at, and bullied in their homes.
And although I’m well aware that when she feels “attacked,” she screams and says things I wouldn’t dream of saying to another human being, it was still extremely upsetting to me. Yet I still love her!Since this recent incident, I’ve put significant space between us both to give myself time to heal from what just happened and to fully process this overall realization about my childhood. So far, so good.
