Last week I got upset because someone walked out upset themselves and I immediately started worrying about them and what I could do to make things better (and even whether I'd done something wrong) and at the same time worrying that she might hurt herself and it took me straight back to childhood and suicidal mum. I ended up leaving myself in tears.
This is an important piece of your deep inner challenge and it's good that you were able to talk about this. This behavior your mother displayed is not something any young child can understand and often can feel like it's their fault too.
