What Do The Concepts Of 'family' Or 'home' Mean To You? Are They Different Because Of Ptsd?

I think that makes a lot of sense. Probably part of the definition of "home" is that it's the place you want to flee TOO, not from.

I'm afraid my history makes me unable to see families as anything other than expectations, illusions, projection, pretence, power inequality, demands, control and manipulation. :devilish:

I see family as the same. But I'm not as strong as most of you who have detached from family and made a new. Maybe because I am divorced and have no children. I feel I have no home. The only family I have is the abusing controlling and unhealthy family I was born into. And I still claim it. I still try to fix it, to find love there "somewhere", I should know better by now I'm 46 years old and still want to please my mother who is a narcissist who can not grasp my illness's (PTSD, Bi-Polar, severe Depression).

I wish like so many of you have said that you have made your home. I want one!
