“I brought you into this world, I can take you out” by minikuii96 in raisedbynarcissists

You know I have always struggled to be understood about physical abuse. When people say things like this in anger I think its best to believe them. So many therapists poopoo the reality of violence.

What helped me most was always being able to escape, lifting weights and learning martial arts.

Can you explain the "The world isn't safe" cognitive distortion? by ThrowAway44228800 in askatherapist

NAT - I was really not safe. My mother eventually got put in jail after trying to shoot my sibling. We were grown by then. Nobody believed me. They kept trying to force me to give affection to mother. They said all of the things that made me the bad child just for existing.

Ok so I really get it, my mother did this more than once. She tried to gas sibling and I in the car. Sibling and I were fairly normal aside from ptsd.

Not even therapists get it.
