I’m not sure I know how to go about this seperation. I think I understand what you’re talking about. You’re saying to separate myself from the mental connection I have with my mom. I get that and yes a large part of my depression is feeling like I’m a bad person which came from that relationship. But how do I do this? And what difference would it make if I think I’m a good person yet still isolated and alone? Are you saying by doing that I might be more willing to accept empathy from others thereby connecting and feeling less lonely? Also what importance do you feel my father had in all of this? My relationship with my dad was worse.
