The Child
When you are born, you literally can't survive on your own.. you just can't. You need someone to feed, hold and protect you. Your brain at that point doesn't even understand that you are a separate entity from your mom. You feel like you are kind of.... an extension of her.
Now here's this thing. Some people grow up physically but their inner world stays here. How do you know it? Simple, whenever something goes wrong, their first thought is "it's someone else's fault". Their manager is bad. Their parents ruined them. The city is bad. The government is to blame. Scapegoating effect...
Someone is always responsible. And that someone is never the person in the mirror.
The trap of this is that very blame feels like a relief. It genuinely does. But it keeps you frozen.
The exit door here is: stop that blame on your parents. Not because they were perfect - maybe they weren't but because the moment you stop handing them the steering wheel of your life, you start driving it yourself ;)
