My mom is definitely a trigger. I believe she triggers all my parts, and I am a chameleon anytime I am around her. It seems to be worse, as I am learning about the different parts of me and why they are who they are.

Lots of anger and hurt connected to it. She actually gaslighted me Thanksgiving, and I'm trying to work myself through it and figure this out.

I am feeling like a part of me that was acknowledged last week is more "in front" and I'm maybe "seeing" through that part? That would maybe explain why my hands look like someone else's? I feel them, it's not like they are numb, they just don't seem to be a part of the one looking through my eyes.

My brain hurts!!!
