My interactions with my parents are always full of toxic emotions-from them and I withdrew. When I started getting better it made them angry-it was funny how it shook them up-I was surprised by that. I see them a week every year-they are getting old and I try to forgive them-my life was directly changed by addictive minds but it does no good to resent them ,I think that they were treated harshly and not shown love. Last visit was really difficult ,my Mom seemed to have some repetitive thinking about the most annoying topics. I ask myself if I am able to express my feelings-well ,sort of, I am not harsh at all thats for sure. So progress not perfection. If I am low I do not call my parents.
