no it hasn't really as I dont have flash backs. my only triggers or phobias are yelling violence & some severely mentally disabled people.

I know this because when it was on the news my father said oh thats the guy who abused Troy. I never knew. My father just always assumed I knew or my mother had told me. I said to my dad no I was young I had no idea what was happening. he looked heart broken. I love my father deeply he did the...

Yes he was mentioned in the Royal commission. he abused manny all intellectually disabled.

this comment upsets me because my whole family was in trauma, what he had caused violent outbursts. He needed 24 hr care. which wasn't provided. when he was finaly put in care ( in which they had to abandon him to the state) all they did was sedate him 24/7. so the proper carers couldn't control...

I'm feeling like the point has been missed & feeling a little upset about. I never generalized that all people with disabilities were abusers or that they are all violent. but my brother was, he had Sanfilippo syndrome. He was finally diagnosed at about 25. after years of misdiagnosis & also...

I understand that it seems my parents were the ones in the wrong. they were in an incredibly bad place. because my brother could not be diagnosed . They could not get any assistance. no department would take him. I recently found out from an old family friend that my mother had to abandon him in...

I dont like the look on peoples faces when you say "mental illness" more than the word. but the more people talk about having it the more acceptance there is. I always take it to a funny place to relate to people. I just say I'm a mental. if they give me a funny look ect... I just say not a...

I did not take offence to it at all. I dont think there was any true meaning in it. just a joke. I very much doubt they believe such at all. it honestly sounded like something I would say.

Australian slang..... just shorten to "Tard" which I use when refering to myself alot.... If I do something silly I will just say Tard Power! its not very PC but if I cant make fun of my abuser or some situations I would go crazy

its a great movie. I was so scared of him. I feel like an arsehole because I get freaked out by disabled people. I was made to go to his home for visits & Christmas... where there was 4 or 5 of them... I couldn't deal with it. I just found a corner & stood with my back to the wall & froze. the...

oh yeah I know this one. black heads /pimples & ingrown hairs. anything like that. I had always been a squeezer. but its so soothing. when you get bad acne still in your 30s... its not good. I go to extremes when Ive taken drugs. its like getting into a meditative zone. I can turn my brain off...

yeah he was my main abuser. I edited my post to explaine

my apologies. I wasn't trying to be idiotic. I just use funny to cover up it was horrific.

well he was a f*cktard as well as a tard... lol so cheeky & naughty. the last words he could say were in his best steady Eddy voice "Kimberley NO" & then laugh like the count off sesame street! can laugh at that now but at 6 I hid in cupboards. but everyone knew where I was cause Troy was...

I'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? living with a mentally disabled brother from birth to 12. he was my abuser, so wondered if anyone can relate. especially with not understanding that he had no control over his actions or parents ignoring the clear damage caused. there...

thanks I have done a lot of art stuff. I draw & build things. love creating comics with a message ie mental health information for the non mental to understand. I was diagnosed with anxiety 4 or 5 yrs ago & have done a lot of counseling, I have my first psychiatric appointment next week. half...

My older brother was severely mentally disabled. he was 8 yrs older. violent & unpredictable. so much yelling... I still am frightened to the core by yelling. so I was brought home from the hospital into chaos... anxious & distant father, I believe my mother developed PTSD. but she died when I...

This is exactly how I feel.... I always get really angry at people when I see them lose it over nothing... like a break up after a month or something.... please!!! I think how dare they be able to lose it, not be in control.... why cant I do that. Then realizing Ive just gone & got myself...
