unstoppable force (my innate desire to support my loved ones) vs immovable object (my trauma of ex-partners offloading their emotional labor onto me)
I gathered up the courage to just come right out and talk through my trauma with my partners, and it went very well ; ; I'm still getting used to the idea of being able to trust loved ones with the details of my traumatic experiences, but I'm really grateful to have partners who are being as patient as possible with me and listening carefully
