Living Right Next To The Nightmare

[LittleRuzi]

How do I get through this PTSD when I have to see and hear the same person who is the center of this issue.
I have to face my own mother everyday and speak to her about those harsh memories where she abused me over and over. She's the only one I got besides my dad because I am so ashamed to cry in front of anyone else.
But yet, it still seems wrong to ask for comfort from the one who caused all the pain even though my mom has realized the pain she caused.
It hurts everyday and I dont know how much more pain I can take.

Hi, and welcome. Are you an adult?

 

[LittleRuzi]

Actually yes I just turned 18

Do you have the option of moving away? A wise therapist told me that I wouldn't heal unless I was away from my abusers. She turned out to be right.

Hi littleRuzi......Do you have the option to save and prepare for leaving?..... It took me a year to do this to get out of an abusive relationship but it helped watching the savings going up....I was closer to my freedom...It helped me cope with what was going on at home..knowing it wasn't forever. I personally wouldn't advise you to leave until you have prepared and saved for the next step.
