28 Years of Gaslighting From A Codependent Mother
28 Years of Gaslighting From A Codependent Mother
If you would like to see the explanation of this video, check my story or the highlight called "CALL."
I felt as though this was a very important conversation to share with the adoptive community even though I could face serious consequences if my adoptive mother were ever to find out. If she were to see this, she would never forgive me, although she never really has for anything that I have done my entire life.
I love my adoptive mother. I hold no more anger for her. I do feel she is very validated and has a right to be upset at the fact that I did not reach out to her sooner. However, I am very tired of being her punching bag and I shouldn't have to feel so guilty or have her question my love for her because I am a very busy 28 year old adult son who can't answer immediately and is responsible for her emotional state.
It is important to share this because I truly think there is a pattern of codependent parents and emotionally immature parents who are adoptive parents and I have a theory that the trauma experienced by adoptees stems more from their family dynamics and intergenerational trauma than a "primal wound." I truly think that the primal wound is real and a trauma that marks the beginning of an adoptees future probability of dealing with stressors better. However, I think the degree at which an adoptee experiences common issues can are impacted much more by a lack of social support & emotionally immature parents.
This video is one example of thousands that I have dealt with for 28 years. The amount of biased expectations, projections, codependency, gaslighting, guilt tripping and emotional immaturity can all be seen within this one video.
I have been conditioned to not want to text or call my mother for years because of the danger and unpredictability of her emotions.
I felt as though it was important to share what goes on behind the scenes and to help those who secretly deal with codependent parents but are too afraid to voice out their pain and suffering.
I felt this was important to share because adoptees who deal with this type of emotional gaslighting should know that they are not alone.
