#interpersonal relationship

I feel just kinda sad right now about my childhood. I love my mom so much and she’s done so much for me but I grew up to believe that my feelings are wrong unless validated because they were never validated as a child. I just wanted my mom to say she’s here for me, to understand my hurting and my sensitivity. To teach me not only to understand other people’s perspectives but that she understood I was hurting. I think it’s why I try to hard to take care of people because I know how much people need emotional care. My mom is much better about recognizing my pain but if I come to her with a problem it always ends in an argument. It just sucks because she’s the person I want to understand me the most and I’m trying to cope with the fact that I don’t think she ever will.
