Newbie: just joined this morning

^replying to my own Bc it has 0 still^^^ lol

would like to talk about how to overcome trauma caused by your own mother

You are here: the forums. Find a thread with a topic you can relate to. You can either share your own story, ask a question, or maybe give insight/compassion to the other people that post here. There's also the listener feature, which is like venting your life's issues to a stranger over the phone. (I'm not super familiar with it. I have not used it yet.)

I'm sorry to hear about your relationship with your mother. Unfortunately there's not a test to prove your proficiency with raising children before the hospital let's you take your baby. I definitely have some resentment towards my mother as well. I don't know if I could label my experience as trauma, but I hope you find a way to forgive her and move on. (I know. Way easier said than done.) If you never forgive her, then you'll always carry that hate and resentment everywhere you go.

Best wishes, Cain

Welcome to 7 cups.

I have found that this is a great place to get support.

Welcome to this warm and amazing community!

Hi there newbie. And welcome to 7 cups. This is a platform where you will be able to just express yourself and just talk about your thoughts and emotions. You will get active listener who will listen to you compassionately and attentively. In order to get a listener you have to go to the listener request page and a listener will accept the chat and be your listener. However there are other resources on the platform other than listeners such as member support chats, an online therapist if you may need one and other ways to improve on yourself. I hope this helped in some sort of way
