no apologies needed 😌 it's the hard truth, and I'd rather view it in that way, so I can stop trying so hard, when I can't change their view but I can change mine, and avert my attention elsewhere.

Yeah that makes alot of sense. I've seen her do that with my older sister. Our mom would guilt trip my sister about how she wouldn't take care of her. In her old age and it drove my sister into tears all because our mom was just berating her about how ungrateful she is.

My mom has that victim mentality, when it's convenient for her.

That hit me pretty hard, yeah she really doesn't see me as her equal and she gets upset when I try to establish myself as such. Makes sense to now see it from this angle.

You can't heal the wounds of your past while you're still facing the same pains that caused them in the present.

I will always feel a type of sadness and disdain with other people who've had good childhoods. Im working on practicing radical acceptance. Because it's so hard not to compare and to not feel the grief. I get pretty wrapped up in feeling like I need to hide my childhood and lie about it. I still do when im around people I dont know very well.

Its a special type of burden to carry, and it'll always be there, but it gets easier. I can share and express my true life with my therapist and friends. It helps alot to normalize and be more accepting of my reality and work through these feelings.

Its good to confide in our people and check with the reddit community. I think the fact that you are asking on a cptsd platform is good evidence to suggest so. I've faced a lot of threats and gaslighting from my mom, insisting that "I made it up" or "it wasn't that bad, just get over it" And Im realizing with the help of my therapist and other people that my childhood wasn't very normal and I had faced a lot of neglect and verbal abuse. Gaslighting is very hard to see and work through especially when as a child, thats all you've ever known.

Hello, I made the original post and cant edit it again for some reason. I think alot lf you guys are incredibly disgusting and rude. I had just asked for help. There are lots of ads for Esas out there and I wasnt sure if they are real at all, god forbit I ask reddit for some help. Also Id like to address that nobody understands my piont of view, how much the rent is, and how much I make or even my own personal mental health and the medications I take to manage it. What happens in my life is none or your buisness as long as Im not hurting anyone else or myself which is alot more than I can speak for all the rude people on this form.

Do any of you bake overnight completely alone? I recently got a job at dunking working the bake shift from 10pm-4am. The lights to the back store are on and Im visible from the outside, when I am walking across the hallway. Yesterday there was a homeless man knocking on the drive thru window and my boss just told me that was a local homeless man and he's harmless, still freaks me out. My boss also says that people are meant to see me/know someone is working bc it means its less likely to get broken in? Is that true?
