I came from a family of self absorbed, control freak, narcissists.
Though I moved away, they still tried anything they could to maintain a level of power over me. If you dare to move away and cease all contact, you get tracked down and punished for it. They'll use feigned concern for your welfare, calling law enforcement to check on you. Really they just want confirmation of where you live and to try to own you, again.
So, now most (not all) of my family have passed. I'm kinda free of them. Still have an IVO on one of them. But, are you ever really free? The damage caused is so lasting.
That's why I'm here. I have PTSD, officially diagnosed.
