Does the process of self-growth involve exploring one extreme to the other? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I grew up without going through a rebellious period, until after I got married and had a child. After my child had a serious illness, and after I had taken good care of him and seen him through it, I suddenly entered a period of rapid growth. At that time, I used to love my original family and every member of it very much. I used to think that my family was the best in the world, and I felt that I owed them a lot and was grateful to them. But after growing up, I may now begin to hate them, want to stay away from them, fight against them, escape from them, and not like them to come near me. Does a person's self-growth really have to go through first going from one extreme to another, and then finding a balance?

I can relate to feeling like you're on a rollercoaster with your emotions and family relationships. It seems like the intense experience with your child has triggered a significant shift in your perspective.

It's interesting how you mention going from one extreme to another. I wonder if this transition is less about inevitability and more about the profound impact of lifechanging events on our personal development.

Life sure throws curveballs that change our outlook. Your journey shows how critical moments can flip our world, making us question everything we once held dear. Finding balance might come with time as you process these changes.

The path of selfgrowth is rarely straightforward. It sounds like your experiences have led you to reassess your connections. Maybe this turmoil is part of understanding yourself better and what you truly need from your relationships.

Your story reflects how deeply we can be affected by major life events. Moving from love to feelings of resentment might not be a necessary step but rather an effect of the stress and trauma you've endured.
