Dear Elle, it’s not unhealthy to put this on hold for now with your parents. I encourage you to try to heal your CEN with the help of a therapist. You do not have to involve your parents to heal!

I still struggle with #9 however. I’m 18, whenever I discover new things I like, relate to, am interested in or simply want to talk about, I usually talk about it with my dad. Him and I are very similar so I feel like he’s the one person I can trust to take me seriously and not judge me. I finally built the courage to tell him about my struggle with CEN. Before reading anything or really talking it through, he had his opinion on the matter already. He joked about it saying things like “Well you know you cant believe everything on the internet” and “I don’t see any of the symptoms in your behavior.” I felt pretty shot down, like what I was feeling or needing to talk about was invalid.
He told my mom about CEN, she took it way worse than he did. She immediately got defensive and she was saying that I was just trying to attack her parenting.
I know my next step is finding someone I can talk to (I’ll probably just go to a therapist) who will take this serious. As for right now with my parents, I told them to ignore everything I said and to carry on like nothings changed. I know it’s probably unhealthy to do that, but I don’t have the energy to argue with my parents about something they are so closed-minded to.

It is very comforting to know I’m not alone and am able to understand why I’ve struggled my entire life with the issues of CEN. I’m grateful for the tools you have provided to start my recovery process in freeing myself from the debilitating effects of CEN to live a happier, more productive life.

They forgot birthdays…my siblings would take things from me and my parents never attended any school functions unless I was doing badly or in trouble. My parents ended up retiring and moving back to their country and I stayed behind. I had to pretend to others and myself sometimes they were great people but they are not. After my father passed my siblings collectively wrote me off and that is ok. After learning about CEN and seeing what kind of man I turned out to be I figured I am doing fine. I haven’t spoken to my family since 2018 and even with the pandemic going on they haven’t called. I decided to also do the same. I threw away my family pictures and gave myself a legal name change. I moved on with my life as I always felt expendable but….I love myself even more so that I survived CEN and grew past it.
