I'm sorry to hear that you are so confused and upset about things .... dealing with issues that involve how you're feeling towards your parents can be really hard to understand sometimes. Is it something they're doing? Is it something that you're doing, or not doing? Or saying, or not saying? There are so many variables .... but ultimately it comes down to what YOU feel. You can't control what other people do (or have done) but you can control what you can do, and how you want to deal with it. Something is telling me that yes you are trying to deal with this "inner child", the question is what is it trying to say? Are you in need of comfort? Support? ... don't dismiss it, listen to what it has to say.

I hope this has helped..... feel free to pm me anytime if you want to talk.

take good care,
Jacq
