Hi! I'm new and taking a class by Open Hearts Ministries. The main problem I'm having is not feeling my emotions about having emotional incest by my mom. Any thoughts on what is going on? I'm on anti-depressants which means i have some anger issues. I'm all confused because when i look back at the situation, I don't blame my mom. i know what she did is as bad as sexual abuse, but she did the best she could do given the circumstances. T
The group is trying to get in touch with my emotions but I have none. Any thoughts?

I wonder if you think that being upset with your mother about this is somehow a betrayal of her. I know as I was processing all of this I did. My mother did do the best that she could and eventually I came back around to forgiving her. But daggone it, I was angry. I want a normal love relationship and I felt I was robbed of it. Perhaps if you approached it as to how you feel about being messed up rather than how you feel about who was messing you up, it'd help your loosen up your feelings on the matter. Just a thought. YMMV.

Great idea, focusing on how I feel about being messed up. I just need to figure out how messed up I am. I think this is a great start for me to take. I'm also going to try to explore any current emotions I experience. While it may not lead to my past, it will tell a little about me.
Thank you.
