- It’s not my fault
- I survived childhood emotional neglect
- I saw things that aren’t typical for kids
- I may be loved, but I’ve rarely felt loved by immediate family
- I have to work on showing love without gift giving
- It’s okay to ask for help. I needed help as a kid because I was a f-ing child. I need help now due to the interdependency of mutually beneficial relationships.
- I don’t know how to receive love from my family of origin, except for my sister
- I’m not used to physical touch, except from an intimate partner
- I don’t know how to be a sibling to my other brother and sister
