I am feeling very overwhelmed by my family, my parents, today.
I work so hard to relate to them but so often I feel like... I don't know how.
I am an only child. I have spent my whole life feeling like they need so much from me, or they really want me to be different than I am.
They never see me as I am.
Right now I am asking for help from my father, but it feels uncomfortable and I wonder how and why we are speaking different languages (figuratively).
My mom (they are divorced) wants me to come for Christmas. I don't want to say no but it's so hard to say yes.
I feel so wrapped up with them and don't know how to disentangle myself and my life!
I know this is a little unclear... Thanks for listening.
Can anyone relate? I could use a supportive thought.
