I have inner conflict from growing up. I really want to address those issues and what happened because I need closure. But I don’t know if we’re supposed to continue on with our own closure or address what happened with your parents after years of not saying anything. They changed, but the person, the relevance I have with them when I’m around them, still feels the same. Though they are better as people, I don’t trust them. They’ve helped me at times but I’ve always pushed for independence and I felt guilt for not allowing my family that once before wanted to do everything for me or control me. I don’t want that I want to do everything myself and I can. But somehow i feel tied to the obligation I need to let them help me because they are family. When I left home there was so much I didn’t know how to handle and I didn’t want their help. My mom keeps on insisting to take care of me and it’s exhausting because I want to do it myself but the guilt from letting them help me is killing me because I didn’t know how to feel because of family values vs. being independent. Even when I tried to move at one time, I felt pressured to stay in the state just to be closer when I want to live my own life. Even when I addressed these issues in the past I felt ignored about it. So I feel like in some way I’ve been enabling something I feel like I can’t get out of. There’s so much I still don’t know but I want to learn how to do that on my own. I’ve spent a lot of time in avoidance with my family because I felt ignored and I don’t know how to emotionally connect with them because I didn’t feel that strong connect growing up after being controlled, screamed at, criticized. They’re the you have a roof over your head type, I get that, but I also have emotional needs. My emotions matter.

It is not this is how "i Am" but how I was "made to BE". recreating a better self requires a model of what better is
