I feel like I'm selfish and a liar. my childhood wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst, so everytime I'm stuck in the past I feel so horrible because others have it worse than I do. I still live with my parents (separately, they're divorced) and whenever they get too close, talk to me, or get mad at me, I freak out because of past events and that I'm scared of them (especially my mom, who was my primary caregiver). I'm so scared all the time from loud noises and anger and people walking towards me or touching me, but I feel disingenuous because my parents are really nice sometimes and haven't done anything physical in years. and when they have it was deserved and a punishment. I just feel so horrible and selfish and I don't know what to do.

@adrenalinekid Of course, and it’s all true. You may not know me, but I’m here if you need me to be. You’ve always got someone on your side. And never invalidate how you feel. You deserve love, and equal treatment to everyone else. I hope you have a nice day today! Maybe treat yourself to a snack you really like, or a hobby you don’t usually do. 💕

You’re right to react the way you do, and you’re entitled to it. Being harmed is never deserved, and it not an okay punishment under any circumstances. You deserved better, and deserve so much more now. You’re not selfish, you want to be treated well. That’s not selfish, that’s the bare minimum. I’m sorry you weren’t treated that way. But now, I hope you can see what you’re worth! You’re worth so much, and never deserved anything physical that happened to you. And you’re entitled to how you feel, and you need to believe that more than anyone else in your life to believe it. I hope this helps, even just a little bit. Stay strong, and reach out for help if you need to
@Thixo thank you so much for this message. that's really all I've ever wanted to hear all my life. it means so much
