It’s so frustrating cause I just get fucking angry after all this time of my boundaries being crossed constantly. And then that makes it so I end up being blamed when I lash out. You pin prick me for years upon years ignoring when I tell you it hurts and then blame me when I finally get bitter. “Oh we should talk it out so we can improve our relationship” I tried for years to get you to listen yet you kept doing the things that hurt me. You didn’t care. I don’t believe you’re capable of change.

100% understand you. I called my mother this week and explained I was frustrated because I do a class every week that’s a specialized activity with specialized gear (think in the same vein as pottery) and the instructor is great but it’s very on the rails, I would love some “shop” time, but I don’t have space for my own setup in my apartment. She proceeds to give me “cool ideas” for 10 minutes, and when I tell her this is overwhelming you need to stop, she acts like I’m this villain. Umm no.

I don’t wanna waste my energy on something that will never return any results. Going to family therapy is just going to be an exercise in me giving you more information that you can then use to cross my boundaries even more. Because you don’t actually want to self reflect and fix things you just want me to shut up and be nice. I’m tired. I’m tired of being vilified in my own family just because I’m actually reacting negatively to the constant poking and prodding.

Ugh yea exactly. If they try to help you it’s only ever in the most self-centered way possible. And if you tell them that what they’re doing is actually detrimental to you they just get mad. And god forbid you do actually ask for their help cause then they’re either busy, or the help they give you still sucks.
