hello everyone. i was physically and emotionally abused by my mother. physically when i was younger and emotioanlly/verbally as i got older. i remember her beating me over dropping a sock while doing laundry. i witnessed her hitting my brother repeatedly in the face untill his nose bled. i don't really remember what triggered her anger in every situation. but it was mostly over stupid things. and in my opinion, witnessing abuse is worse than going through it yourself. you feel helpless cuz if you say or do anything to stop it then you know could be next. the emotional abuse was even worse than the physical. she made me and my siblings feel worthless,like we were burdens. as we got older she stopped beating and hitting us but she used other methods. she constantly tried to control us and every aspect of our lives. my sister literally cut the ENTIRE family off, my brother got out asap and joined the military. i'm currently homeless and refuse to return to that environment. i was diagnosed with PTSD and Depressive Disorder few days ago. im constantly reliving that situation in my head with my relaionships and friendships. i trust hardy anyone and i overreact to situations emotionally for no reason. this is destroying my life :(
