It happened twenty minutes ago. Right in the middle of what started as a normal conversation, someone I love and trust reached into my past, grabbed my deepest childhood insecurity, and threw it in my face to win an argument. In today's episode, I'm recording this while the sting is still fresh, while my hands are still shaking, while the old shame is trying to crawl back into my chest where it lived for so many years. Because this is what people do when they're losing an argument and they know exactly where to hit you. They go for the jugular. They weaponize your vulnerability. They use your healing journey against you. I'll share exactly what was said and how it felt like being punched in the stomach by someone who's supposed to have your back. The way my confidence crumbled in seconds. How quickly I went from feeling strong and secure to feeling like that insecure child all over again. This is the conversation about the people closest to you becoming your biggest threat to your healing. The ones who know your triggers because you trusted them with your story. The family members, friends, or partners who use your past pain as ammunition when they want to hurt you. I'll walk you through what's happening in my body right now. The old patterns trying to resurface. The voice in my head telling me maybe they're right, maybe I haven't changed, maybe I'm still that broken person I used to be. But here's what I know that I didn't know as a child - their words say more about them than they do about me. When someone uses your insecurities against you, they're showing you exactly who they are. This isn't about the argument we were having. This is about someone choosing cruelty over kindness. Choosing to tear down instead of build up. Choosing to wound instead of heal. I'm still processing this betrayal, but I'm not going to let it undo years of work on myself.
