Long story short.
At 14, I witnessed/experienced domestic violence between my mother and my father, this consisted of physical violence between both, which resulted in my father attempting to kill my mother, the end result was armed police officers raiding the home with weapons, tasering and arresting my father.
Since this, I have struggled controlling my emotions, I am quick to anger and I experience daily imagrey of this event since it happened 9 years ago.
I suffer badly with anxiety, and I only experienced nightmares of this, shortly after the event and also recently, when I experienced another incident with the police.
Talking and thinking about the event can sometimes cause me to experience strong emotions.
Could this be considered as truama?
I have experienced other domestic violence, but this event does not seem to want to be stored away in my memories.
Not seeking a diagnosis, just looking for some reassurance.
Thank you.
Apologies about the spelling mistakes and grammar issues, wrote this in a bit of a rush.
