Hello,
You're very welcome and I wish you a bright and happy future.
It helped me understand what I needed as a child. There are many helpful journalling prompts in the book : were you seen ? respected ? could you rest and trust in your mother ? what did you need ? were you understood ? did...
Thank you for your kind comment, it really helps. You too deserved a kind mother. Children should never be treated harshly like we were.
I have read a book called "The emotionally absent mother" but I haven't delved into her (very likely) narcissism.
Do you have any particular recommendation ?

Dear diary,
I think I am a rude, disrespectful person. I cannot talk to my mother in a kind way. I'm often harsh to my boyfriend, whether I'm talking to him directly or talking about him to his own family. I tend to highlight his bad habits and flaws, instead of focusing on...

Dear diary,
I had a lot of fun today at the con ! I purchased some stickers and postcard from my friend. I love them a lot and they were so inexpensive ! I'm so thankful I can support my friend's small business.

He has many...

Dear diary,
My mother just got a call for a new job, which she's excited about. She ran upstairs to tell me so I congratulated her, as one should.
But her joy is annoying. She's pushing it onto me. And I just can't be enthusiastic with her and for her.
I don't know why I am...

Dear diary,
Managing anxiety is so hard. Isn't anxiety a symptom, the way for something else to express itself ?
I help autistic children get through school. At least, that's what I'm supposed to do but school started last week and I still don't know in which school I will...
Dear diary,
Can I write about my burn out that happened during the 2019-2020 school year ?
Before my dad went through it a year before I did, I had no idea that burning out was a thing and I couldn't imagine what it felt like before I suffered from it.
I reined mine in for many years...

As I'm waiting for my boyfriend to come to my house, I wanted to write about EDed behaviours in my family, how I am doing, etc.
My mother is thin. Scarily thin now and she's boasting about it. She grew up in a poor family, with many overweight siblings (except one of two)...
Dear Dharma,
Thank you so much for replying to my diary-thread.
It seems that you went through a lot. I really hope your life is good and that you're happy where you are <3
My mother is not religious but she's thinking quite highly of herself (maybe because of insecurities she's trying to...
