The word family has became no-more than a concept to me now..To think that the very people who are supposed to nurture, care for and love you the most would hurt you the most is very damaging for the"psyche of an individual" resulting in long-lasting effects that can often take a lifetime to truly heal!!

“Family isn’t everything if they continue to hurt you over and over again.” Yes, I agree you should walk away or go no contact with family members that continually hurt. Another great subject, you are amazing, thanks!🙏🥰

You speak highly and lovingly towards your mother. She seems like a loving and encouraging mother.
@TherapistTamaraHillАй бұрын
Thank you! 😊My mom is so selfless and just a good mom. I'm grateful. Having a mom like this has helped me understand the other side of not having this too. So it's a blessing for many reasons.

You know I often think it’s sad in human families that family members will come together to get rid of the family member that seems the most together and protect and stand with the ones that are the most toxic. It’s sad that very rarely they outcast the evil ones! I applaud the bees. That information you shared with us is very very interesting.

I agree. It is sad indeed.

Thank you for highlighting this topic. I have always believed that family is everything but my mother has shown me that it’s not true. She has destroyed our family by pitting her children against each other. I had to leave over 25 years ago. At that time , I was not aware of narcissistic behaviors in ppl.
@TherapistTamaraHillАй бұрын
You're welcome!! And thank you for watching. I'm sorry you have had to learn this isn't the case when it comes to your mom. No one wants that pain. I hope you have peace at this time.

yep, mine used to set my drunk dad on us like a Pitbull. I was chatting late last night with my brother. He told me something I had no idea about. OMG my first impulse was to dig her up an pee in her mouth. not possible of course she was cremated and had the good fortune to be buried 500 miles away. Sorry if I shocked you all, I shock myself sometimes at the hurt pain and disgust I can't let go of even at 70. The good news, the cancer has got me some great trauma therapy at last, only four session and I am making progress, Yay

I was trapped in an enmeshed family and had to go contact. It looked like good love so it was confusing but i was anxious all the time and never allowed to be separate or differentiated. Thank you so much for addressing this, Tamara

ive learned through slowly letting go of expectations i had for them, that i truly found my power in keeping promises to myself. it means the world to know what it feels like to have someone respect my limits even if it is just myself.

When I see a loving family engaged with one another in caring for one another and showing respect towards one another.... It's a beautiful and very unfamiliar thing to see. I don't feel jealousy ..... I just feel sad and still grieve over not ever having closeness as a result of trauma and addictions. I'm middle(! aged and just beginning to create healthy and loving friendships. ( Outside of my biological family) I am creating bonds and friendships and secure attachment with others, in my new church.

My mother and sister went crazy after I moved out after dad died (10 year I took care of post stroke bedridden dad ) and had to stay in mothers house and addressed I didn’t like it but she didn’t work on her emotions and hostility toward me I often felt I’m not her daughter as she would blame me for all sins I had suicide attempt when was a teenager because parents arguments were too hard on my psyche And mother and sister often try to guilt trip me for anything and if I say something - even being calm they would enrage Tired of babysitting and that we are” family “ Mother was stalking me whether my car is parked at home and would knock on door embarrassing me before neighbours and she did other crazy things like it’s her house I understand everything that people can live too much and be anxious but they would never apologise for hurting you when addressed They keep following me whenever I travel and keep coming - last time I got sick that’s true amd couldn’t come down and they called police to “ make sure im ok” I mean never ask how I truly am - instead “ I was worrying and you have to understand Sometimes moms don’t know how to love ❤️

I truly despise this. Why do it? Most of the time it's to be nosey and/or manipulate the family dynamic in some way. Like the old commercial "just say no."

The Nuclear Family is the weakest unit ever, because you only get 2 chances to get that Unicorn "good parent". If both are bad, and you have no access to extended family due to moves, you're in a REALLY bad position. It only takes one set of bad parents to ruin an entire family line due to the fragility of children. I feel that kids have a better chance of having a "good enough" nurturer if they have access to extended family.
@TherapistTamaraHillАй бұрын
I agree. That can be a very bad situation. It's heartbreaking in some cases, especially for kids. And yes, access to extended family can sometimes help a lot.

I'm an only child with dad estranged from his family and my mom enmeshed in hers. I'm now no contact with Mom bc she used to helicopter me. Family just means surveillance and control to me. My support group provides me a safe haven from my vulnerability to conspiracy theories and cults.
@andron967Ай бұрын
I've had to walk away from my family. And almost all groups. Including bloodline, religious, political etc. Why? Because in any long running group the most dominant rises to power. Often that is the most narcissist. Not only families go bad. Whole civilizations eventually cycle. I'm really personally struggling . I'm working hard to undo habits and brainwashing. It aint easy being cheesy. And there's also physical health. Skin and complexion shows a lot more than most people understand. I know I'd better pay attention. My diet was killing me. It shows in my skin etc.

5:24 maybe people mean that in general if they didn't have a family, they would have different opportunities and achievable goals in their lives (thus a different meaning), less knowledge different mindset and all. It's nice when the system makes it possible for young people to be able to live independently, maybe even in a healthy family it's nice to encourage your kids to be more independent, live separately, so that they can sooner discover their own life

Dr. Tamara I just wanted to say I particularly appreciate what you said to round out this live: we ultimately only have ourselves and how we navigate life when it's all said and done. I personally live similarly by this ideology: nobody will be for me, in any capacity, in the exact manner that I will. In doing this, I no longer get upset/stressed when generally believed things about human to human relations don't happen in my life. Please get all necessary rest and recovery!!!🫶
