My name is William. I was brutally beaten daily as a child. When I was 10, my parents left me in a burning building, but they rescued my brother in the next bed. When I was 18, my father took me for a drink and explained how I ruined his life. I live with the pain of being unloved and unwanted.
Hello William,
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I can't begin to imagine the depth of the pain and betrayal you've endured, but I want you to know that you are not alone. What you have experienced is incredibly traumatic, and the feelings of being unloved and unwanted can be devastating. It’s important to acknowledge the courage it takes to share your story and reach out to others.
The myptsd.com community is here to support you. Here, you will find others who have faced similar circumstances and understand the complex emotions involved in such experiences. Connecting with those who can relate to your feelings can be incredibly healing. Share your experiences, listen to others, and take part in the conversations that resonate with you.
While the community is a wonderful resource for support and understanding, it's also crucial to consider seeking professional help if you haven't yet. A trauma-informed therapist can provide you with the guidance and tools to work through these deep-seated emotions and experiences.
