22. Obligation & Reparenting in Relationships
![Complex PTSD Recovery [on Spotify] : We Are Traumatized Motherfuckers](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/staging/podcast_uploaded_nologo/1897962/1897962-1711406820941-d919cdbca65af.jpg){kind=small}
Fawners, Fixers, White Knights, and Chronic Caregivers... gather round. How about those early-childhood patterns defining entire lifetimes, huh?
Today, let's talk about Filial Obligation and Anxiety - the pressures put on us to always serve, soothe, and surrender to our family's needs. Especially, with "PTSD Parents" of a certain age or declining health status. Nothing like ripping open (purposely forgotten) childhood wounds. AND, let's not fail to mention the ways those behavioral relationship learnings are generalized onto pretty much every important social contact in our lives.
AKA - researchin the ways we run ourselves ragged for others, feel trapped and powerless, and the rest is a mental health crisis waiting to happen.
IN a caregiving situation of your own? Reseach says, don't do it alone or isolate under pressure. Find support and save some energy for your Self before you run the well dry.
Find Fuckers like YOU in the Blanket Fort private community. And be sure to join our new community collaborative episodes as the research shows tumble trauma topics down the pipeline! Your new penpals are waiting.

Organization worth yer time: Free99Fridge
"Free99Fridge is an Atlanta-based grassroots organization committed to fighting for food justice & addressing the needs of our neighbors through mutual aid. We provide high quality produce and non-perishable food at no cost to anyone who wants or needs it via our community fridge network. Our community fridges are stocked and maintained by volunteers, growers, and local businesses who see value in supporting their community. This is a community-run, community-backed effort. Our crew of volunteers make this project what it is. We are a solution-oriented collective aiming to build up community and end food disparities in Atlanta one fridge at a time.
Free99Fridge, like many other community fridges, operates on what is known as a mutual aid model. This differs from a traditional charity with the goal of empowerment. For the people. From the people."
