Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I have just discovered that there is a name for the craziness my mother brought into my life. In the past two weeks I have read both Walking on Eggshells and Understanding the Borderline Mother. My nada is a Queen/witch, and my father is a fisherman. My Mother is a phych nurse which made this even more confusing as a child and an adult, she has always played normal really well, except when she didn't! I went NC last August after she had my father spank my daughter for being disrespectful. Her favorite move is estrangement, so she was the one who decided to stop answering my calls. She was good with the kids when they were babies, but when they got older I started to see her treating them the way I remember being treated and It freaked me out. We reestablished contact before the holidays and have had very limited calls and visits since then. I read that one of the symptoms of children who have been emotionally abused is emotional numbness, and I have that BAD! Do any of you have any advice on how to get more in touch with your feelings. I have not been able to cry in years, and identifying how I am feeling is very difficult for me. I see a great therapist and she is teaching me how to meditate which is sooo hard, and I read self help books like crazy. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
