An Ode to my Insanity
Hello everyone, it’s me. Desmina de Vil. I write this blog from the London Stansted Airport, which I will be making a home for the rest of the night. I fear that the two missed flights on my way to Frankfurt are a hint from the Universe that maybe I should turn my back on this chaotic and arduous path, and yet I persist.

Do You Believe No One Truly Cares About You?
Then start caring about yourself! However, your belief is likely to be your faulty PERCEPTION of your situation, and not the actual reality. In our life, we always have at least one person who cares about us: whether parent, relative, friend or stranger. There is usually someone there for us. However, we tend to judge everyone as uncaring when we have been hurt, especially by someone we love. At such times it doesn’t matter who cares about us, because it is likely to make little difference to our feelings. That is why the remedy to this feeling is likely to lie inside you.

Identify and Deal With Toxic Parents
Toxic relationships include relationships with toxic parents. Typically, they do not treat their children with respect as individuals. They won't compromise, take responsibility for their behavior, or apologize. Often these parents have a mental disorder or have a serious addiction. We all live with the consequences of poor parenting. However, if our childhoods were traumatic, we carry wounds from abusive or dysfunctional parenting. When they haven't healed, toxic parents can re-injure us in ways that make growth and recovery difficult. When we grow up with dysfunctional parenting, we may not recognize it as such. It feels familiar and normal. We may be in denial and not realize that we've been abused emotionally, particularly if our material needs were met.
