Hi, I am 43 and grew up in a very dysfunctional family. My father left when I was a little girl and my mother raised me. My mother was the victim of monsters for parents. Her father was a rapist, drunk, physical and mentally abusive and her mother knew about the abuse , and was mentally and physically abusive themselves. Life with my mother was hard, and by the time I was 21 I got out of the house and by the time I was 24 I stopped talking to my mother for 19 years. Just got in contact with her and I realize it was a big mistake. She does not stop living in the past and blames me for things that I never did, or happened when I was a baby. I can go on and on.
 
Welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear you suffered and are still suffering.

Hi Catlover,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum. When were you diagnosed with PTSD? It is extremely important to have the tools to set boundaries and enter into healthy relationships; but to renew unhealthy relationships can definitely make symptoms flare up.

I hope you find some things on this site that will help you cope.

Wishing you the best.
Debbie
