That succinctly described my relationship with my family of origin. Thank you so much for putting it into words I can digest slowly and share with others. I have chosen to parent and live differently. It is helpful to understand why that is incredibly hard and work to not feel that intense sense of shame RAP parenting instills.

yes! I think understanding where the shame comes from (not because we are bad) is such a helpful part in recovery!

Information that I have acquired from STRONGWILLED has reframed major aspects of my life. I don’t look at the world the same way that I used to. I also don’t look at the majority of my life the same way that I used to. This has been one of the most productive forms of healing that I have encountered in decades.
