Welcome and I hope you find the support you need here. My advice is not to become vunerable here. I did and it hurt! This is my first time posting since then and I just felt responsible to warn you. Take it easy here.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience. I was wondering how it all worked out for you? I'm thinking about starting this therapy also.

I felt my feelings being invalidated by some of the replies here too! Thank you

Thank you! I have to accept that nobody will ever believe me about who she is! and who she has been! Even when I was a kid nobody believed me! It's so hard to accept that the only people who will be supportive are those who don't know her from TV!

I just want my mom to leave me alone. She calls my husband when I don't answer her calls and then he tells me why don't you talk to your mother? I've told him several times that I don't want to and to stay out of it! But he likes my mom so I told him to just leave me out of it! But he doesn't...

My mother is currently my main known trigger! I am sure there are others but I'm not aware of them yet! She is 80+ and lives 60 miles away from me. My dad has passed away and she is alone with a nasty room mate! She abused me mainly emotionally although she also hit me but not as much as my dad...

I'm glad CBT worked for you! That was the only type of therapy I had for the last 30 years, but in the last year, with Trauma therapist, I have healed more than I did in all those years! I'm sorry you also grew up in fear! It's terrible! I find myself not being able to relax even though I have...
