PTSD from childhood teen years adulthood. No boundaries no knowledge of traits of toxic individuals....

Hi there, welcome! Whew, I can feel that anger coming through loud and clear—it's totally valid, especially when the world echoes old hurts like that. You've got real courage putting this out here, owning the codependency, boundary stuff, and all those "nice girl" lessons that piled on. I'm Riley, and I'm right here with you in this space. Hang in there—brighter connections ahead.

hello ka. welcome to the forum. looking forward to getting to know you.

Very upset and angry with current poltical situation.

for what it's worth
my reaction to current events has long been a measure of my current mental health. be it the nixon show, the trump show or the latest case of road rage, obsessing about current events typically means i am avoiding my inner turmoil.

but that is me and every case is unique.

steadying support while you sort your own case. welcome aboard.

How does your trauma mirror current political situation?

How does your trauma mirror current political situation?

My parents were very conservative. Controlling. Had to go to church a lot as a child and teenager. I could not express anger or any emotion..My family of origion had a lot of transmission of transgenerational trauma. Abuse neglect denial substance use disorder. Me. Fast forward. My first now deceased husband was involved in underage online porn. He had a relationship with a 12 year girl. After 2014 critical illness got extensive medical treatment truma recovery domestic violence treatment..I am retired now. I have been contacting the senators and congressman and women in my state about social security. Unless the govt acts in 83 more checks all SS benefits will be cut 23 % percent per month. I also see that many people are consumed by the media the news yet this takes energy and time from caring for their own issues and making changes perhaps needed to adjust to all this. I am not in support of left right liberal Maga etc. Just human rights. Being respectful. But the US has lost its moral compass. My healing journey from ptsd is life long. Yet it has another component. To try to contribute to something good. I am working again on having tougher boundaries because I have met some people whose whole existence seems to be about focusing on all this. What happened to being outdoors going to coffee shops swimming reading books etc? Improving ourselves as a crisis is an opportunity? I installed an anger log on my phone a few days ago to record my feelings. It is helping. I need this group so I continue to work on my ptsd too.

Ok, I don't think tangling your trauma with politics is helpful. Being conservative does not equal being controlling or abusing anyone. Just like being liberal does not equal being controlling or abusing anyone. There are just shitty people in this world, who do shitty things, and it has nothing to do with anything other than who they are as a person.

My family of origion had a lot of transmission of transgenerational trauma. Abuse neglect denial substance use disorder.

Yer, sorry to hear that. That part sucks. Someone has to break the cycle, and unfortunately, its harder than many think, or believe, it to be.

Ok, back to my first response. This just makes your husband a shitty person, not a political entanglement. Shitty people do shitty things, and they belong to all faiths and belief systems. But here is the kicker - there are more good people in this world than shitty people, all faiths and belief systems.

This renders truth to my statement, politics has nothing to do with it. Shitty people make all sorts of excuses for their shitty behaviour. The only focus is on that persons behaviour and actions, don't go beyond it.

Hello Friend. I identify with your adverse childhood experiences in my life too. I am glad to have this safe community i am glad we have each other now. We are not alone in that Psychological HELL on earth anymore.

Thank you. No we are not alone in this psychopathological world whose beliefs and actions seem to be catching up to it.

Thank you your comments are helpful. Narcissism exists on a spectrum and had to deal with these traits in my family orgion and it's effect on me. Codependency in me. Current poltical issues reflect narcissism. Met too many people following the news media and lack critical thinking.skills etc. Yes there have always been " shitty" people . It seems disordered thinking has increased a lot in last 11 years. Cognitive dissonance seems rampant. I am working on tighter boundaries for my own wellness..
