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 :(
