Just pissed at them playing dumb

Just pissed at them playing dumb — As I've grown up what's always hit me was the unfairness of it all. All this labor that I put into taking care of the narcs who parentified me. All the labor I did to take care of myself during and a…

How do I F21 fix my relationship with my F21 twin sister after her M22 fiancée SA’d me?

That sounds harrowing. I'm sorry you're going through this & your sister isn't more loyal to you. An internet hug from a stranger, if you want it.

People with CPTSD what are things that people just don’t get about it?

I guess I wish that people understood that it's called "COMPLEX-PTSD" for a reason. You don't always have to witness or go through something harrowingly traumatic (war, famine, rape, etc.) to have tra…

[Partner] Wife’s suppressed severe trauma surfaced. She’s in extreme ‘flight’ mode, refusing therapy, and I am burning out. Need honest outlooks.

Did anyone else have atypical trauma or extremely violent trauma?

Would my assets be protected if I put them in a trust AFTER my wife filed for divorce ???

Wills can be overturned by the courts, despite the wishes of the deceased....And trusts can too, depending. In my case, because of a harrowing medical diagnosis 10 years ago, I made my wife a trustee…

Am I still AP or I actually earned my secure attachment?

I don’t know if I have a clear cut answer but I do want to say I’m glad you’re getting support for the very harrowing events you’ve experienced in the past few years. I hope time continues to bring yo…

Anyone uncovered memories of SA on shrooms before?

apart from the one harrowing trip, nothing has felt like 'memories' or re-enactments of the past. so I should probably edit my post a bit on wording. it's felt more like truths coming to light and pre…
