Thank you for sharing so vulnerably Bob. I became a patron yesterday and this episode is one of many that have brought me to tears. I don’t think I have ever heard anyone state they don’t think their parents like them, but I have felt that way many times. I made the mistake of bringing this up to my mom several years ago and I still get an increase in my anxiety when I think of her reaction…she yelled at me for literal hours. I cannot fully explain how I experience disorganized attachment. It’s complicated. I struggle with perfectionism because I think any mistake I make will lead to dire consequences. I used to tell my husband to leave me whenever we argued because I felt him leaving was inevitable. I would regularly cry myself to sleep as a child because the pain of feeling unloved was so great. I work very hard these days to conquer my anxiety, but anxiety is ever present and depression is always on the horizon. The emotional outbursts were the worst. I felt so out of control. Thank God I don’t struggle with those anymore.
