[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally relate. My mom, who is at her heart a decent person, was horrible to me growing up. I get where it comes from now, but of course when I was younger I thought it was about me. I am somebody who is described so often as "calm" it's kind of a joke between my DH and I. But I work in health care and deal with some difficult/explosive patients pretty regularly and I definitely fall in to a set of coping skills I imagine are based on how I handled things growing up. [/quote] I am also described as calm for similar reasons. At work, I took jobs with bosses like my abusive parent and was verbally abused at work. My comfort zone. Eventually, I saw what I was doing and made changes. But yeah. People say I am very calm. Had another abusive situation in a group and it took other people getting upset with the abuser for me to see how bad it was. The terrible person seemed normal at first to me. [/quote]
