I was thinking the other day about this topic about the more one remembers childhood instances of abuse the more one can finally feel allowed to grow. I think it is because we may have had narcissistic parents that arrested our development because they needed us that way, being that way immature and always in need of their conditional and illusory love. The fear of growing is actually the fear of a small child that wants to finally disconnect from the attachement to the parents and to become an adult with needs and wants it is also the fear of discovering that the love was not real but an illusion to keep us chained to them for life, it is a mechanism to protect us from acute pain in childhood. Another fear is the fear of abandonment/rejection that parents feel and that we sense it and we wish to spare them. So the scary part you asking about is your fear and the fear of your internalized and real family. Growing from being a child and becoming an adult is the delicate process of a successful therapy in my view. Your topic is really important.
