Your relationship with your mum is... unhealthy.
This may be a shock to you, or most likely you took the quiz because you knew deep down something wasn't right.In an unhealthy relationship with your mother you will often feel critisised, shamed, unimportant, not good enough, like you are walking on eggshells around her, and find your mother feels emotionally absent.Mothers like this tend to be very smothering and controlling, leading you to feel incapable or trapped; or absent and neglecting, leading you to need to become ultra-independent.“If a mother has an unhealthy need to dominate her children-which she demonstrates by bullying, terrifying, neglecting, suffocating, indulging, humiliating, overprotecting or abusing them- those children must come to the recognition that such treatment is wrong in order to begin the long process of recovery and ultimate understanding.” Victoria Secunda🌑 When the pain runs deep, you are not aloneIf your relationship with your mother has left you feeling anxious, ashamed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure who you are anymore, please know this:You are not too much.You are not making it up.And you are not alone.When the mother wound runs deep, it can affect every part of your life, from your confidence to your boundaries, your relationships to your ability to rest.
