Dear Anxiety That Affects My Daughter,
It’s time for a frank discussion between us. I’ve held my tongue for too long, but I can no longer pretend that your presence in my daughter’s life is anything but toxic. You have woven your way into her mind, tricking her into believing that you are a part of her identity. It’s a deceitful game you play, but I want you to know that I see right through your tactics.
You are nothing more than a fraud. A charlatan. You are a manipulative force that tries to infiltrate her thoughts, convincing her that you are looking out for her. But in reality, you are just a cowardly bully.
My mother always said that it’s unkind to use harsh words, but I can’t help myself—you are a nuisance, and I despise you with every fiber of my being. I can’t tell you this to your face, of course, because you’ve made your home in my child’s mind. Your voice is so insidious that she might mistake the truth of my feelings for a personal attack.
Perhaps you think you are helping her—that by stopping her from pursuing what she desires, you are somehow keeping her safe. You whisper lies to her, claiming that if she listens to you, she will avoid danger. You thrive on her compliance, reminding her of every instance when she heeded your warnings and stayed in her comfort zone. “See? You’re okay,” you say. “Just let me take the lead.”
But make no mistake; you do not have her best interests at heart. You are a totalitarian force, using psychological manipulation to control her life. You thrive on her fears, never allowing her to experience comfort without your interference.
I loathe you because you leave me feeling powerless. I try my best to help her from the outside, but you know you have the upper hand within her mind. I feel like Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter series when she fiercely declares, “NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH.” Why can’t you just vanish from her life? She doesn’t need you; she doesn’t want you.
You’re a bully—a pathetic, ugly one at that. You aim to make my daughter feel small, weak, and afraid. But let me tell you something: she is not weak. She is a force of nature, far stronger than you will ever comprehend.
The good news? She’s learning to combat you. She’s discovering methods to keep you at bay and build her inner strength. You’ve unwittingly armed her with a powerful imagination that can dismantle your hold over her.
And she has support on the outside too. With a therapist guiding her through these battles, and a loving family ready to stand by her side, she is not alone. There are even options like medication available if you prove to be a stubborn adversary. Plus, she has me—an unwavering mama bear prepared to take down your oppressive reign in her mind.
Who do you have on your side? No one. You are nothing. You have no right to invade her life.
You may think you’re here to stay, but you’re mistaken. You might win some small skirmishes, but the war is far from over. She is becoming stronger every day, and soon enough, she will reclaim her mind.
Are you feeling threatened? You should be. Change is coming, and she’s ready to confront you.
Sincerely,
A Determined Mama Who Has Had Enough of Your Nonsense
