Something we don’t realize about why a parent is emotionally distant or abusive is because they learned this from their own traumas experiences, and parents. They act this way because they do not want to be vulnerable so anyone else can hurt them. The best thing you can do as a person is distance yourself. Work on your own mental health and confidence. Break the cycles that continue through generations.

It is amazing to be through it and look back on how it occurs. When you, your mind and body feels safe. You start to experience the fear, stress, and feelings you haven’t been able to express during survival mode. It is important to allow yourself time to heal once you are safe. Trauma is not something to define you. How have you seen your process change over time?

PTSD has really made me question so much . I was constantly believing things that I knew couldn’t be true. Paranoia, depression and other more intense emotions. It took several months to finally trust my reality and move forward. If you feel up to it and want to share please feel free. No judgments and no pressure. This is me holding that space for you
