Struggling with Trauma and Abandonment Issues

I had the same experience with my parent's. Living with such conflicting feelings is honesty horrible and super difficult to live through. What helped me get through it is working through what I am feeling specifically. Knowing if I'm having an emotional flashback or a normal one, or if what I am feeling is right now anger or past anger just surfacing. My parents for the longest time acted like nothing happened and its heartbreaking. Somehow my parents came around eventually. I would suggest going to therapy or even talking to friends if their comfortable. Working through the Years is rough but it will eventually get better with time and thought. I believe in you!

I went through this as well. Although I'm 26 and had time to reflect, go to therapy, get good meds, and decide to cut my family off from my life which sucks I'm not going to lie but I'd rather be alone than have to argue with my family about my mother's abuse and them being enablers. But I gave my family many chances and they never wanted to hear me out or believe me. They'd rather pretend it's all in my head.

im sorry that you're going through so much right now :-( take time for you and try to hold onto something you really enjoy that helps me sometimes. if you need an inbox you can pm me
