When the people in your own family who were meant to love you and protect you end up being the ones who hurt you, your body adapts.
I believe that family betrayal is one of the deepest kind of pain, because itās coming from the people that were supposed to be safe.
So now, youāre on edge, always watching, always looking for a problem, trying to keep the peace, or sometimes shutting down just to cope. And even then, you still donāt feel safe in the world.
So please donāt beat yourself up for how youāve coped with the devastating reality of your own family situation⦠remember, your body has been trying to protect you. Itās doing its job! There is nothing wrong with you, I promise⦠these are really intelligent responses to some very unstable peopleā¦
