Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
If you say this usually doesn't happen, I see two things that could fuel it. One, she might have fear where she almost lost you. Fear can make someone want to control. With you, I think you are angry at what happened to you and feel victimized. Also, that you live your life and you almost...
I understand what you are going through completely. That is a huge trigger for me as well. I have been doing EMDR for a very long time and what I have realized is that it usually is a memory that is very hard to emotionally handle, and it's there right in the back of your head along with fear...
Yes, that is molestation. It's more rare for women to molest than men, either that or it's least reported. My mother molested me, but it was out of spite against my dad who had did so as well. Then she started to like it. I think this form of abuse, at least for me, was harder to work...

I know. I get these urges I wish I could cut it out of me..... Horrible I know. Sometimes it feels like a growth I can't get rid of. Like ivy crawling all over my face, lol lol lol
I think what is the hardest for me. Is after my dad did what he did. It was caught by her. For years I was severely abused and treated as the "other women". She always did a lot of medical things to me. Then she said what was good for him was good for her and started doing inappropriate...
