I didn't start becoming a human being until I was about 45 or so... After I left my mother's personal hell I spent too long trying to be "the best one" to all the worst men.. just continually hurting myself for what I couldn't do or couldn't be. It just feels so damn good to finally feel like I ain't gotta be anyone or amount to anything other than myself for myself. Thank you for singing to us Patrick :)

Great tune. Gotta love Petty. Patrick, you’re pretty awesome at guitar, too, and your singing the chorus was so melodic. Appropriate song for all of our situations. My parents were damn lucky to have me! I was a precious, smart, creative, beautiful little girl that they took and not only dumped all over but threw in the trash can. They used, abused, neglected, and abandoned the best thing that ever happened to them. I went no contact with my entire family right before I found your channel and was on the path to recovery right away. (I had no idea what CPTSD was until I discovered this channel). I have a grown son who I was adamant about not growing up the way I did. I got lucky because I was a single mother, too. He was the best thing that ever happened to me! I never knew a love like that could exist! How could a parent ever treat their child the way mine treated me? I’m happy to say he’s thriving in life. I don’t understand how I could and can show up for him but not myself? Now that he’s an adult, he sees it and he just wants me to have a better life. Under his advice, I went no contact with my whole family before I even began healing (none of my parents’ grandchildren have contact with them for over 10 yrs now). However, my parents have severely declined since I’ve gone no contact. They’ve been divorced for 50 yrs. They’re in separate states, both in nursing homes doing poorly. My father just lost his horror show of an abusive wife for whom I felt nothing when finding out she died. He has dementia very badly and is suffering, totally alone. My mother is going downhill fast, suffering, completely alone. NO ONE goes to visit them. My mother tried to trick me in to going to see her after everything she did to me until I was over 50. I didn’t fall for it. Not me nor the grandchildren will go to their funerals. They “got lucky’ when I found them at birth and should have showed it. Now they can rot in the hell of their own making.

At 58 i am more fulfilled and rich in love than i ever thought i could be. I started working on this 22 years ago and it's been worth every hard step. Don't give in. Don't give up. It's worth it!

So beyond lost right now. It feels like I just traded years of my life for confusion and pain and there’s no do over button. I’m still very young but my father died young and I just struggle with feeling like I wasted half my life. Trying to get back to myself but I lost who she was.
@jennytaylor33243 ай бұрын
I'm sorry. A girl needs her dad. Having to guess at who we are sucks, doesn't it. When we were small we just knew we were it! And it wasn't about ego. When I was little I felt something, almost like a sense of how great I was, and all my untapped potential. Somewhere along the line we lost touch with that, but I swear it's still there in us. Sometimes I think the only sane people in the world are the kids. There's a diamond in all of us, but it got buried under all the layers of other people's lies.

@narutouzumaki64093 ай бұрын
Right? The thing is, abusers are manipulative. They'll turn the hurt around on you, so many of us have heard something like this from them ourselves. Maybe Patrick's intent is that we should reclaim that kind of worth for ourselves. But yeah, I've heard this from some cruel dudes. If you haven't, check out the book 'Why Does He Do That?' By Lundy Bancroft. Helped me realize I wasn't totally losing it, and those guys were not, in fact, Mr Wonderful.

Ty for modeling getting out of your comfort zone. Also, I apologize for saying how insanely sexy you are when you play-I swear I don’t have parasocial relationships and I never meant to be creepy. In my own life, I ended up w a lot of crap balls bc I would melt if they played an instrument for me 🤷♀️ Willing to love n accept myself anyway

Love this channel. This guy. However, though a super-valuable tool, psychology is regressional and delves into the past. You go down a ladder only to ascend it which is the ultimate direction. You go down a rung or twenty or back to ground when you forgot or are missing your tools. Then you get them and ASCEND. You RISE. The ultimate imo is non-attachment, non dependcy on the parental introjects. You can’t get blood from a stone. You can maybe understand for the purpose of releasing.
