Has any felt their childhood wasn’t bad enough to justify no or limited contact?
I feel like I’ll never stop have an uneasy feeling around my family now that I’m realizing I was the scapegoat middle child. I remember my sister often saying how she doesn’t think my mom even likes me. I think everything was so subtle that I can only remember a handful of the downright abusive moments. Now, my family will help with my kids when needed but it’ll never feel like strings aren’t attached. I’m still treated like a child and talked about when not present. Again, nothing out right just uneasy. I am wanting to move away in the near future but sometimes I think I’m just being dramatic and don’t have any confidence in myself. We’re in a tiny rural town in the Midwest so I feel so claustrophobic. I think the distance would honestly benefit our relationships
