^^ Yup so me. I do the same thing all the time.

I just did my first session and it was something else. I didn't know what to expect. At first, it started like a movie then it turned to those flashback -type things you see on tv or movies sometimes. It got so real that I seemed to feel the physical parts of my experiences all over again...

I would do that. Sometimes you can write things out more clearly than you express verbally. I think your T would appreciate it.

We are kindred spirits, you and I. My issues and history are very similar. It's a struggle to cope. I've felt like :poop: one way or another fro most of my life. Wanting validation, only to be criticized/ostracized. Or wanting love because I didn't get a lot growing up and basically getting...

It's not your fault. It's his. He attacked you. You didn't consent to anything, you weren't even asked. He forced himself on you. I believe you. As liz81934 says blaming the victim happens far too often. It's a tactic abusers also use to guarantee silence. By making us feel no one will...

Yeah, I couldn't stop myself. Now I'm searching for a toy I never got a chance to get back then. Unfortunately, it's crazy rare. Fingers crossed.

I can relate. I got threatened and/or beat when I got a C on my report card. I literally wanted to die when I knew report cards were coming out. Nothing I did was ever good enough and the family would be 'judged poorly' because of it. My later relationships were similar. Basically I was a...

I am the same way. My family thinks I'm weird. But from the way I see it, my traumas occurred mostly because someone said that I did or said something bad. Pretty much for a good portion of my life, everything I said or did was wrong. It was and is crippling, I can't have any interaction...

Um, they are enabling her by not enrolling her. I don't know how you put up with them. They are completely lying. I'd pack up her crap and drop her off at their doorstep. She wants help to some extent but can't or won't follow up. That's not enabling, allowing her to go on or providing her...

She's manipulating you again. She sees you as an easy mark. If she gets you worried that she has nowhere to go, then you won't make her go. Get her set up at a woman's shelter. Don't give her excuses. That's all they are, excuses. She has biological family that need to step up a little...

It really sucks, I can totally relate. She is great with my kids and not as mean spirited as she used to be. But she still plays the victim. I flat out told my new therapist I don't want to confront/discuss with her, my issues. She won't hear it and gets angry, which traumatizes me more. My...

Or at minimum a ride to her own kid's place. She's their headache and they need to deal with it.
