Is Your Inner Child Messing Up Your Relationships?

Second to last one Happens a lot... Trying to get to a better place of communicating but the inner kids often make it near impossible which makes marriage feel more like a prison than a partnership.

I know I have an inner child, that I can feel very very well.

I do become immature. I can feel it much more at night where i morph almost back into a young child.

But, I also became an adult much, MUCH, too early. And so my rational mature brain is very present so it sort of counters the immature-ness most times. Unless I'm tailspinning on an overly emotional tailspin. Then all maturity or rational thinking is gone.

It doesn't enter into relationships much. Other then things like being held and I am also someone that needs to be interacted with a bit gentler then most i guess.

Relationship with friends are a bit odd. Im the odd one that says odd things i guess but my inner child or any immaturity doesnt enter at all. I am very mature, loyal, and do everything i can (even if i cant i try) for the friend(s).

Anyway, i can see a few things in that article in me but most of it doesnt fit.

I guess i have become good at supressing my inner child to function rather well in the world.

"She" makes an apperence here a lot. I hope that means i feel safe-ish here.

The only place I see myself doing this is on my marriage and with my family. Outside that...I'm a different person.

I went to a hippy camp once that had us write letters to our inner child. I thought it was weird at first, but as someone who sucks at meditating and the like, the concept of addressing an actual mini-me inner child was something I could work with. But I also always thought I was a really cute kid so it may just be my ego :laugh::laugh:
