was separated from my father after caring for him for a year. it has brought me to the brink of suicide several times. overwhelmed is all i feel. i fear everything now. it is very hard just to do the most basic things. i have never been like this. it is a feeling of helplessness in the extreme.
It sounds like you are doing the best you can in very difficult times. Perhaps Schema Therapy would be helpful in healing some of these childhood wounds that you describe. It's a good reminder that schemas can develop as a result of the impact of our caregiving environment regardless of people's intentions. Parents are often doing the best they can with the resources they have.
had to be very mature from a young age. was caretaker of my mother. abuse & neglect the order of the day in our house. not my parents' fault. they survived terrible things themselves.
I m interested by this type of psychotherapy

emotional gymnastics. exhausting. when parents take instead of give.
