I guess, like many small cubs, I had some idealisation for my parental units when I was very small.
Only recently I told someone (Not anyone here) something painful I had told very few people. This was in response to personal disclosures from them. I knew them a bit from another online forum. No reply ![]() ![]() My abusive parental units were extraordinarily concerned about their “reputation”.. All they cared about, it seemed, that they were perceived as “charming” ... and they were.. But they were far from kind to me, their only cub ![]() I’m much less concerned about my “reputation” - judgments of others who do not understand me....... than about who I really am... a human being who makes mistakes, particularly as the result or consequence of complicated and cruel abuse by others ![]() ![]() (Not about anyone on pc) I’m continuing on this journey we’re all on. And trying not to hurt others in that process. And doing it all without “meds” or certain other things many take for granted. And yet I’m fortunate in many ways. And I’m grateful for that ![]() Respect and kind thoughts to all here ![]()

You've been through a lot, Fuzzybear. Now it's time to use some of that kindness for yourself - the same kindness you've ALWAYS used for EVERYONE HERE!

It would take a very long post to detail my relationship with my parents (both of whom are now long since dead.) Considering the times I think, had they had a normal boy, they'd have been pretty-good parents. Unfortunately for all three of us... they had me…

![]() I feel sure you were a normal boy. I think I was a normal girl. I wasn't the dolly my mother wanted. She was depressed and could not cope. ![]() Of course all of this was my fault. I was blamed for my existence. Somehow from the moment of birth I was making decisions to make her life unbearable. ![]() |

![]() Thank you for posting, baby TS could never manage to be what was needed. I can see that now. I would never have been able to be good enough and they tried to make me believe that. Mostly I don't but somewhere deep in my brain there is a place that knows it to be true and thus here I am today suffering. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
