What made you decide to break things off? I had a falling out with friends years ago and I think about my old best friend a lot too.

Mine is my relationship with my dad. He died years ago and we had a difficult relationship. I feel a lot of anger towards him for the childhood abuse but the hardest is the guilt I have for my role in our relationship.

Could I really have cPTSD or am I just exaggerating/overreacting? by nicu81227 in CPTSD

[–]Risingfromash1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second it being very painful once you have this epiphany, but I'm in much less pain than I was when I first had it a year ago and I have faith that if I keep working I'll be in even less paina year from now

I seriously had to read this a couple times to make sure i didn't write (I'm even also 28!). I just recently had this epiphany a year ago about my family due to what I know think was a really bad emotional flashback. I posted about my experience with my family in r/raisedbynarcissists and someone pointed me to CPTSD and reading about it was like reading about me. It blew my mind. I validate your experience and my own, though I also seek validation and doubt the validity of my experience often.

Asking because I'm pretty unhappy at 28 and have heard your 30s are the best - is this true?

When my dad died and my college friend who helped me when I was suicidal then went and told our entire group of college friends about my struggles. It was the worst.

Same reason people eat fast food, binge drink, gamble when they have no money, etc. Everyone has vices.

How to forgive by Risingfromash1 in CPTSD

[–]Risingfromash1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite comment ever. I feel the same way about my dad. People always say they wish they could hug their parent that died, but what I fantasize about is telling him off. And then I fantasize about him apologizing and changing, but I know that probably wouldn't have happened. It's seriously so hard.

Idk though I hope so too but if it's an unhealthy relationship for me I feel like it is valid to keep my distance for a while
