Anyone else have a deep resentment & anger to help coming “too late”
Being emotionally neglected for so long, and all the trauma that occurred and horrors in my childhood and no one wanted to bat an eye or help me or care
Now, whether my parents or even other people, if anyone wants to try to pry in, or they say something personal, or they extend help .. it just upsets me so deeply. The analogy I give is: it’s like offering someone moldy or stale bread that sat on the shelf for years. Keep that to yourself! Don’t offer me that! It’s so upsetting … all this time, and NOW you want to do something or say something?? Nah. No thanks. The damage has been done. I already suffered. I already learned to deal with it on my own. It’s a little late for that, isn’t it? Needed help a LONG time ago … with my parents this makes sense, but even with new people in my life .. it like, who are you? You don’t know me or where I come from .. don’t talk about it! Even if it’s genuine help and care offered .. idk, maybe it’s the way they say it?
It’s difficult because I still do WANT help and NEED it, but there’s just this deep internal anger —and is it resentment? Bitterness? Whatever it is, it makes it so hard to receive help, especially if someone else initiates it. So many layers .. so many issues .. so much anger. I reject help because I’ve already been burnt down so much … fun times .. 🫠
