How funny, just an hour ago I was thinking it's time to stop seeking approval from my family and others, although I wasn't even aware I was doing this. For me, seeking approval keeps leading me back to resenting them. I'm listening to audio's from Louise Hay and she says I need to approve of myself. This is probably my hardest challenge yet! 🤯

This is like describing me, all my life I’ve struggled to try to please everyone else and always felt that I failed especially in the view of my parents.I gave myself a talking to the other day as I feel I have wasted so much of my life trying to be the person that I feel my parents wanted- thank you for reminding me that I am enough 💛

Breaking away from toxic family "bonds" can be nearly impossible. But Finding your OWN path in the world is cathartic and freeing. I'm finally forging my own crooked road instead of stumbling 🦮🦯 blindly down the ones that were not supposed to be paved for me.

hi earthsitter. Completely understand how you are feeling as I have been stuck in the past lately myself with thoughts of family members. Many bad decisions. I ran away from my family, shut them out and began a life without them. We want to make out parents proud but at what cost? Mine did not bring me peace so I gave up on them and ghosted them for years. They are now old and it has taken much work to repair the hurt that I caused them. I do believe in Karma so sometimes that causes me to overthink it all. Keep moving forward. We can’t change the past but can learn from it. Know that you are always enough! 👍💛

I have cPTSD and all that comes with from an abusive childhood. My brother suffered emotional dysfunction from this same abuse only worse. My sister seems to have dodged the bullet and "has it all". It's confusing to me. The past is ever present with me. Her present distracts from the past. It is difficult not to make comparisons.

Its a long road, but it can get better if we keep putting good stuff into our minds, xx

[gerrerd in reply to EarthSitter1]
