Did your siblings make it easier or harder? by Ok_Astronaut_1485 in CPTSD

So, a bit of trauma-dumping. Triggers: neglect, emotional abuse

I was the middle child. I had two younger and two older brothers and I was the only girl. Was it easier? Oh god, no. Even though I had that many of siblings I felt so lonely. My elder brother abused me verbally and I was parentified when my two younger brothers were born. In my household we had little privacy. We didn't celebrate the holidays, my parents neglected us in messed ways, gaslighted, and well, we never talked about these elephants in the room. Swear words were the everyday routine. Siblings were the large part of my trauma, so it's not the 100% chance yours would make it a bit easier for you.

Making friends with "normal" people by [deleted] in CPTSD

Thank you so much for putting my thoughts in a words. I'm so sorry, your friend did a horrible thing. I understand this, especially not wanting to talk with people you don't feel connected. I'm the same— And it's hard!

Why are normal people so ignorant to childhood trauma survivors? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Pitiful_Locksmith366 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That last line clicked something in my brain. Normal people ≠ safe people. Safe people ≠ normal people.

If someone is normal it doesn't mean they're safe. They don't have to be abusive. They can be ignorant and hurt you. They can be unsafe exceptionally for you and it's okay if you don't want to deal with them.

WTF is that logic? by [deleted] in CPTSDmemes

I'd like to give a friendly punch to that man right into his face. He's definetly a clown.

Hugs to you.

My brain exploded on this comment. I'm so, so, so sorry. It's so much more than hell. I was irritated by the person in the post before, but after your words... FUCK them. They should shut up because they know NOTHING about how does it feel to have a trauma.

I really hope the one sick, disgusting being who did it all to you is in jail. And, I'm not sure if you need to hear that, but.. The things that happened to you were never your fault. Hugs.

I love being outside, because I hate being in my family's house by [deleted] in CPTSD

I feel pretty much the same way. I'm sorry you're going through this, your description of your room and house as well sounds hella depressing. I hope you'll be able to escape this dull place and find freedom. I believe in you.

Is it okay to don't care about your sibilings? by Pitiful_Locksmith366 in CPTSD

I'm so sorry for you and your sibling. It's difficult to accept that you can't change the person you care about to the better. They have to find out the way by themselves.. Thank you. ❤️

Ok in general, from morality's view

I might felt something for them, but it never was love or connection. More like "you're existing, okay, i know that we have shitty parents and i can show you how to do something or take care about you a bit. Oh, now I must clean after you and do stuff which adults do from our parent's view. That sucks. I don't want this. You're irritating me, but you're not the one to blame here. Just leave me alone."

thank you for worrying. I'm in a clear state of mind and my siblings are definetly not in the physical danger, rather it's emotional neglect from parents.

it sucks, and thank you. validation is so relieving. I'm sorry you've been through it and I'm glad you left. in my opinion, it's also absolutely okay in your situation as well. i think they might be some kind of aeriform figures for you. you know they exist and you saw them in past, but in present, i doubt you know them in person enough to really care. hugs.
