I just heard someone say. The reason you isolate when you’re struggling is because you were left alone as a child to deal with your emotions. I felt that, I felt that a lot. Woah
@recovery_your ouch. this one hurt. I've always been alone. 💔
@recovery_your Same. For starters I once had the flu and was left alone upstairs with no one to check on me for four days. Still don’t know what the hell my family was doing during that time.
This is a highly prized attribute of my childhood. I loved nothing more than to be left home alone with a book. I had to learn very early on to get used to the fact that I was kept deliberately sequestered as a child. It was part of how my mother kept an iron grip on any move or sound I made within our home. This made me easier to control as I got older. I was her fifth child so she had the cult control methodology down pat by then.
