Did I respond ok
My mom has caused me a lot of emotional trauma and over the years I’ve had to unlearn not trusting myself. Yesterday I was feeling out of it. I had labs done back to back and my body normally doesn’t respond well and for a day after I’m usually needing rest. So I told my mom I slept in body as my body really needed it and I’ve felt tired but still able to push myself, just need breaks in between. So she said are you sure it’s not just a psychological thing and you’re convincing yourself
So I responded with It might be or I might just need a day to rest, but either how I’m feeling is valid and I’m listening to my body and will most likely be good the following day
Y’all it felt so good to stand up for myself and validate how I was feeling, because growing up I was never allowed to. And she was lost for words and then her entire tone and rest of convo continued to be rude. Idk how to explain it, just similar to when someone says oh that’s nice anyways this or that is better or oh congratulations, but you can tell it isn’t sincere
I’m still parenting myself so I was wondering if my response was good or would silence have been better
