Ones upon a time there was a little girl. She loved her mommy very much, but she could never be sure that her mother also loved her.
When she felt sad and longed for a cuddle, her mommy was too busy to comfort her.
"Stop bothering me, little one; you have nothing to be sad about."
Enough is enough!
You live in a drama directed by your narcissistic mother. You need to escape from a kingdom to which you do not belong. Therapy came to mind, but how do you find the right therapist?

Are you going on with your ”normal life” while the pain of a toxic relationship with your mother tears you apart.
You keep on putting one foot in front of the other like a zombie, not dead but not living either. Barely hanging on, gasping for a breath of fresh air.
And all you want is to be free to live your life and be happy.
Sigh.
“Wherever you are in your life this year, take care of yourself first. Practice self-love abundantly. This […] is the only way to experience the true meaning of Christmas.” – Charlene Tops

“I'm looking forward to seeing pie this Thanksgiving more than members of my own family.” – Damien Fahey
Ouch.
Do you feel the same?
The truth is, more people feel this way than you will ever know – we still don’t talk much about our families. Especially if the family is dysfunctional, like my family of origin.
The time will come when you will return to places that caused you pain in the past, but you will feel good. When emotional trauma heals, the scars remain, but they don't hurt.
I returned from a trip to Moscow (not Minnesota or Texas but Russia!) – the city where I grew up.
