Feeling Trapped by Family? You're Not Alone ❤️
Ever feel like your family just doesn't get you? 🙈 Trust me, you're NOT alone. I've been there, and it can be so overwhelming. Here’s what I’ve learned about why we might feel this way—and how to cope:
• Different values? Yeah, that can make you feel like an outsider.
• Emotional abuse or neglect? It hurts, and it’s NOT your fault.
• Toxic behaviors? Gossip, criticism, or guilt trips—ugh, no thanks!
• No boundaries? That’s a recipe for resentment.
So, what can we do?
• I name my feelings instead of bottling them up. It helps, seriously!
• I lean on friends who get it. Venting = instant relief 😅
• I set boundaries (and actually stick to them).
• I focus on self-care—music, walks, whatever lifts my mood.
• When it’s too much, I talk to a therapist. No shame in that!
Sometimes, cutting ties is the healthiest choice—and that’s okay. Your mental health comes first. ❤️
If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Let’s support each other!
