This might sound familiar... 

On the outside, everything looks fine. Inside is a different story.

Walking on eggshells
You can predict your parent’s mood from the slightest shift in their mannerisms.
Guilt that feels unbearable
If it were truly possible to drown in guilt, that sea would've already swallowed you whole.
Loving someone you can't trust
You love your parent but know they aren't a consistently safe person.
The Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde parent
The version of your parent other people see and know isn't the full story.
Boundaries that crumble on contact
You set a boundary. They pushed back. You back down. It feels hopeless.
Self-doubt that spirals into panic
You worry that maybe you're being unreasonable or overdramatizing the situation.
