I suffer from the same issues. I grew up with a Finnish mother. And being the best child was important to her. You most likely have childhood PTSD. As children we were very sensitive to having our parents there for us and accept us. But parents who show their children that they are being compared that is no good. It is good to talk about it. Please know it's not your fault . As a child you needed more from your parents. Please don't compare yourself to anyone else. I always tried to make my mom happy. But that isn't our job. They are adults. They need to find their own happiness and assistance. You've found therapists and help. That's great! I know how you feel. I'm 47 and I still learn. This is a life long journey. Stop pleasing your parents to look good. Make sure your partner is in the loop so he is empathetic towards your struggles. Keep up with your to fitness! Your inner child is always there. And tell her you are good enough when you are not feeling good enough. I've learned to be able to talk to my inner child from growing up. Let her know you are there and will always be. You are not alone. Stay ❤️‍🩹 well

Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your sweet and relatable message. I need to work on talking to my inner child, I get emotional every time I think about her and the things she went through. I'm not blaming my parents too, I was their first child and its all new to them. I wish to start a conversation, so topics like this are not so taboo and people are more open to talk about it and heal. I look forward to this life long journey too, because there is more growth and discovery. Thank you so much for your blessing. Wishing you all the best.

@@QuingStar I don't blame my mom either bc she was raising three kids on her own but her actions did cause the trauma. But now it's our turn to see and accept what is. I believe sensitive people have a harder time to accept acceptance and love. And being sensitive is good but sometimes it's difficult living in a sensitive skin. Taboo is a great word bc I believe in giving people with mental disabilities rights and fair treatment. Because I am one of them. It's a good start to be open so people learn about how we bleed.
