Oh man all the stuff everyone has said rings true... Especially when people say stuff like 'get a hobby', 'get over it', or 'you have no reason to feel that way'. Every adult conversation I have with my mother includes me being invalidated and validating her emotions (I wish i would have figured this out years ago). Any conversation with my sister and my dad is the same way, because they still live with her. If you ask them, I have no reason to feel the way I feel so I should just forget about it.
