Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I see as I distance myself more and more from my nada, I am learning through the help of my therapist and this board- to actually take care of myself and my life. I am also not feeling so guilty about not being the perfect daughter. I am human- and I make mistakes, but I am a compassionate and caring person too- no matter what nada told me. I also see how I had become a projection of my nada's wants and needs. It is a very sick disorder and though I still have days that I struggle- I have more days that I get it. So I know I deserve to live my own life and make choices that benefit me and my own family. I am entitled to my personal freedoms, even when nada is not included or does not benefit, and I am entitled to healthy boundaries which allow me to thrive and grow. I feel like I really do understand the bill of rights an adult child of bp is not only entitled to, but deserve. Anything else we so deserve, and been told we didn't?
