I feel guilty all the time.

Vent / Rant

I was the scapegoat of two narcissistic parents.

Intellectually I know it’s false guilt that was dumped on me by my parents/abusers who never took accountability for their hurtful behaviours and lousy parenting. They made me feel like it was all my fault. They made me feel like I was the problem.

But the guilt feels so true…even after years of healing. It seems normal to feel self-blame. I constantly feel like I’m getting something wrong. I feel like I have to make the ‘perfect’ choices. I feel like the burden is all on me.

It’s so fucking painful.

Just wanted to express that. No advice needed.
