Remind yourself of what you already know
It was unfair that you had the parents you did. But it is unacceptable to treat other people the way you were treated.

I have a particular family member that I'm so scared of becoming, and I'm ultra-sensitive to any signs of her in me. Other people don't see it, with some cost to me. No doubt the strategies you have managed come with a cost to you. But still--it is unacceptable to treat other people the way you were treated.
