Hi everyone. I've only recently discovered the terms covert incest and emotional incest. It's been very helpful to learn about these concepts but it's also been quite a shock because my family isn't what I thought it was. I'm so glad to find a board dedicated to this issue. I used to think I was close to my parents because I'm an only child. Most of my friends had siblings, so of course my parental relationships would be a bit different. It took me a long time to see that my normal was anything but.
I started seeing a therapist a while ago, for various reasons, and gradually started realising how weird and screwed up my relationship with my parents actually is. I started trying to write it all out, but got a bit overwhelmed, so I'll just say hi for now.

I would not be where I am today had I not sought out professional help.
