So important

Oh M G, i learned in therapy my mom must suffer from borderline- but listening to episode 110, Adriana, I recognize EVERYTHING! Alleniating my dad, so much drama in all her daily relationships- losing everyone… and me brainwashed completely thinking all was normal? And that my purpose was to save HER. Yet never succeeding, as she is ping ponging me with her manipulative drama. Auto immune diseases and still feeling guilty each day when relaxing a little. Brainwashed children still hear the voice inside daily… i attracted a narcissist partner later… Today after years of therapy- i am in good companionship. But there will always be a blind spot first, before i can realize what i feel. Thank you for all your stories… as for Dawn facilitating - that (from the netherlands) we can find others in the rest of the world - and recognize our history 100% xx chanti @colorintact

Wake up little one

This podcast has been my life line since the beginning of 2023. I’m nearly 38 years old and am just now getting to know my inner child because of the stories shared here. I hope some day to share my story too.

IS THIS MY TWIN? MY LIFE TO A T

This is literally 80% accurate of my life. I grew up without a dad but an alcoholic step dad that my alcoholic and drugged out egg donor liked to antagonize and taunt my step dad. He has said he’s so sorry for any wrong he has done or any trauma he caused in my life. My egg donor on the other hand manipulated me to pay for her cell phone or should wouldn’t have contact with medical professionals. It took me 20 years to stop paying her phone bill. There is so so much more and sadly most who know have since passed leaving me alone on this big bad world again. Baby sitting other people’s kids as well as my egg donor. Baby sitting at 9, Mother at 9, 10, 12 then 15 years old (my own child). It’s been quite the journey and I’m just getting started at 41
