Yeah, I understand you. If my mother saw that she had succeeded in upsetting me then she would have ammunition to continually use against me. I learned pretty quick to dissociate from my feelings of pain and hurt and humiliation etc etc to a state of numbness.
That is still kind of my strategy for dealing. It is kind of automatic I guess. Even though I know rationally that it is okay to express that stuff now in some settings I still just go all numb.
I don't know what is to be done...
