I’m so jealous of the girls who are best friends with their mom or sister. I feel like I can’t tell my family anything because they always find a way to either use it against me or give me shit for it.

Like they have no clue that I’ve ever been on a date. They have no idea that I’ve ever had a crush. I never tell them if I’m doing poorly mentally. I can’t tell them if I have a falling out with friends. I can’t tell them anything. I feel like they barely even know me

i’m so sorry bbg, my mom has basically the exact same experience with her mother. luckily my mom did the hard work to break the trauma cycle and actually make me feel loved and cherished (unlike her), but i can still see how my grandma does stuff like this to my mom. i don’t fully understand, but i kinda do? if you ever want someone to talk to ill never judge 🩵

I told my mom ONE very personal health issue out of necessity (I needed lots of testing and even surgery for it and I live with her so she kinda had to know) and I made it very clear to her that I didn’t want her to tell anyone because it was so personal to me. I didn’t even tell my best friends about it. And my mom told EVERYONE. My entire family and all of her friends and coworkers know about it. That was personal for me :(
