Your anger is completely understandable. I cut off my family several years ago. It was difficult but one of the best decisions I've ever made. It did mean that I lost relationships with 2 family members who weren't so bad but after 5 years was able to re-engage with those ones although the...

Hi Vickie, I hope you find some help and comfort here. I understand what you're going through with all you wrote as I've been through the same. Have you tried looking for a therapist who deals with ptsd? I struggled for years dealing with a mental health team who seemed to ignore my ptsd before...
