Not sure if thus helps but the term character defects is derogatory to me. In my trauma recovery I had to come to grips with the transmission of transgenerational trauma in my family of origion and why they covered up abuse. So if you have trauma and can learn to refrain things establish...
Today this am I called my father from my phone. I wanted to. I watched observed any codependent thinking before I decided to aka you have too you are shamefully etc. I wanted to call him. He said he is ok. His home health provider was coming at 100pm to drive him to PT. Conversation 5 minutes. I...
I feel fear similar to you out in public. Mine seems to connected to the moral compass breakdown in our society. I do believe this is real. The breakdown that concerns me is the apathy poverty drug use rising prices etc. How that affects people and maybe in a store something someone will do or...
Please if my posts about my father help anyone avoid the consequences of the transmission of transgenerational trauma then that is good. To do so is incredibly difficult and in my case it took me getting life threatening sick in a coma on a vent cardiopulmonary arrest to get help and learn about...

My brother and I shared texts last regarding my father. I asked him to call me so I could discuss me not calling my dad to check on him. He drove. He is not safe to drive. Home health was coming to instruct him in insta card use. He cancelled drive to grocery store instead. I saw my error'...
Thank you. I am not a hermit but there is a lot of moral decay in the US. People with no boundaries. I did not understand this living situation in the UK. I am not sure I could handle a shared bathroom. I don't think I am brave but thank you. My codependency traits came out again due to stress...

I am also going back on my boundaries not just with my dad but other people . I have hurt threatened treated disrespectfully but then guilt and shame comes up. This is not valid. It is as if I was 100% at fault. Never true.
Thank you. I have gone no contact with him and mother before. I got an ex parte order against him in 2018. Two actually successfully. He will not change. So I am
