Denial from my evil parents

This was my father’s reaction to me after my mother told me she “knows for a fact” that I didn’t go through anything traumatic. My father proceeded to call me and this was how the texts went.

Before this, I told my father that I showed signs of someone who may have been sexually abused as a kid according to a few therapists. A psychiatrist diagnosed me with PTSD and DPDR. He proceeded to say I would remember it if it happened and then asked if I had sex before slutshaming me. He went on a tangent about how he and my mother don’t need therapy because they’ve found God. When he saw me struggling he told me that I didn’t seek out God enough and that that is why I’m suffering. I was literally 4 years old when I started showing symptoms.

A week later, my father called me and my mom proceeded to comment in the background. That caused me to age regress into a terrified little girl even more than I already was. I ended up watching a toddler show to self-soothe.

When he came to a therapy session with me through telehealth, he admitted to putting me through somatic therapy as a small child. It is a modality used to address trauma stored in the body. Yet he denies I have any trauma.

Years before this my mother accused me of having false memories implanted in my head by a therapist after I put up boundaries. The words I told her was “I see right through you and I know what you’re trying to do”. I was referring to her constant taunting after I suggested she goes to therapy with me. This went on for 6 years before this blew up. I never mentioned memories, so I don’t know where she got that from. What’s crazy is that this was way before I realized I had trauma. It was three years before I was diagnosed with C-PTSD. She gathered up the family and tried to convince them that I was brainwashed by a therapist and threatened to throw me in a psych ward just for stating that to her.

It is incredibly hard, really really incredibly hard, to accept that parents can't show love for children.
I'm sorry you have that.
It might be best not to have him in your therapy session as he clearly has a motivation to make you believe something different to what you know.
.
My mum, only this week, again accused me of lying about what happened to me. Because her motivation is to exonerate herself and my dad from what happened to me. The "you didn't tell me" = it's my fault and she never knew. But there were things where they should have known. But those are the bits I am accused of lying about because those are facts that she would have to accept she and dad failed to protect me.
I've learnt that she will continue to behave callously like this. And if I want to express my version, it's not with the intention to change her mind, but to express my truth.

It's toxic. . it's wrong. .I'm sorry you experience it.
