Two big takeaways for me: 1) It’s not all about me. 2) Shame: spill it! I’ve recently gotten a sense/taste of each of those but it’s reassuring and encouraging to read your account with regard to each of them.

Thank you for sharing. That mean voice in your head? My brothers’ voices echo in my mind. Some days it’s a whisper; other days it feels like they’re shouting. Maybe once I put it out there in writing, they’ll finally leave me in peace. Thank you for finding the courage to share.

Thank you for your comment! It’s somehow comforting to know we are not alone in this, and our healing experiences are normal reactions to abnormal circumstances.

Thank you for your beautiful writing. I have experienced all of this as well…estrangement as a result of finally requiring the respect of a conversation of equals with my parents and sister, shame and guilt ( love Brene Brown), eventually saying the words abuse and estrangement to others, the progress, as well as the ongoing challenges.

I still have days where I wish I were “different” ( could manage more like others seem to do), and “the judge” kicks in , but I am grateful for good friends, my yoga community, nature, books, all things cozy 😁, my lighthearted and supportive husband, and so much more.

Living a simple life is also a good life.

Thanks for letting me express here.

Sue
