Anyone else feel completely emotionally stunted?

Ow my goodness, I'm in the exact same position as you!! It's awful and I hate myself for it it.

I get angry over almost anything that anyone else wouldn't bat an eyelid at and I hate it! I start arguments with my boyfriend over small things and seem to get progressively angry throughout the argument. I say horrible things to him that are completely irrelevant and then after 15/20 minutes of calming down, I see that it was all my fault and I'm just like my nmum.

I've talked to him about this and he says he understands. I've started just literally making myself say 'I'm really sorry, I'm overreacting and being like my nmum' whether I mean that or not and this helps me so much to calm down because I realise it's not my fault, it's my nmums for raising me this way.

Even if you can do this in 1/10 arguments, it's a start!!

Sorry for rambling, I hope it gets better.

Do you ever question yourself? I told my therapist about how my mom kicked me out and then texted me less than a month later telling me I should come visit. He told me I was "biased" against her and she wasn't seeking narcissist supply Why can’t I wear makeup around my father. If you have a narc near you, disengage in conversations. Use the grey rocking technique. Do everything in your power to appear uninteresting. You cannot win in a conversation with them. They live in their own reality and even statistics and facts wouldn't let them see any other reality than theirs. Being the first person in my family to break our generational trauma, but also REALIZING AND ACKNOWLEDGING that there is trauma Nmom cried to my friend and told them what a terrible son I am when I went to the bathroom. Now friend is on her side. Mom ruined birthday surprise friends planned for me Legal liability if you refuse to take care of elderly parent? Did anyone else sense that something was clinically "off" or "wrong" with their Nparents as far back as they can remember? Why are abusive mothers coddled so much? What was the worst “punishment” that you got from your nparents and why? How do you change inner voices? Did y’all grow up feeling like you were always spied on? so nmom called me this morning to say we need to have a serious talk. What traits have lingered for you after *years* of NC?
