I’m babysitting my sister’s kids tonight and I love how she just asked me “Val, can you ask my kids if there are things they’d like me to change, things they’re not happy with when it comes to me? Things they’ve tried to tell me that I don’t understand?”
Such a good mom.
The relationship your siblings have with your parents isn't the same relationship you have with them. Two people can live in the same household and each experience a totally different house dynamic.
Gaslighting is not when someone doesn't agree with your perspective or doesn't care about hurting you, it's when someone is manipulating you into questioning your sanity and memory, in order to get control over you and a situation. It is abuse.
The relationship your siblings have with your parents isn't the same relationship you have with them. Two people can live in the same household and each experience a totally different house dynamic.
Your high school friends that have cut contact with everyone—and that are now winning at life peacefully and quietly—do not want to be searched for or found. Trust me.
The older I get, the more I reach the conclusion that most problems within a relationship can be resolved with emotional intelligence and good communication, IF both parties have the same intention: to find solutions.
Kind people are not dumb, they can tell when you’re unnecessary rude, they’re just not matching your energy because they don’t wanna feel like you feel. They don’t wanna be someone who projects onto others and has no control over their emotions.
The older I get, the more I just wanna be chill. I'm not interested in fighting with anyone nor proving myself to anyone nor clapping back at anything. We either communicate in a healthy way or we don't talk at all. I'm fine with either.
