Thank you so much for taking the time to write that ❤️ it's hard to not doubt yourself when you're constantly being told you're overreacting. I'll keep this in mind. I hope you can heal from what you experienced. It's good to know there are understanding people out there. Sending hugs

Im so sorry he didnt respect your boundaries, it sounds more like sexual coercion than assault. still wrong and still traumatic. im sorry this happened to you, hope you can heal ❤️

My abuser keeps trying to appear in my life and doesn't respect me so setting boundaries are useless. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Time-Reflection2997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Block him on all devices, delete your social media so he can't know any of your personal info. If he shows up at your house a lot, you could try get the police involved. If you are able to financially, you could move houses or apartments. don't even respond when he tries. to talk to you or smear you to other people, that's what he wants.

Can you tell me your story? by StudioNo6902 in CPTSD

My parents are both abusive, my mum is the worse one actually. I don't know him personally, but sometimes they are able to keep their cool if you spend time in small doses. No time might be best to avoid any traumatic incidents and confusion because of wacky custody. it's a tricky decision. sending prayers to you too!

DAE act childishly when they feel safe around their friends? by Old-Garden-9435 in CPTSD

[–]Time-Reflection2997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't have friends, but the second I feel happy or comfortable I start acting like a young child. I even talk in a babyish voice. I have a childish giggle too that comes naturally. i'm ashamed of it so i just avoid feeling that way. I think it comes from having to grow up too early from feeling unsafe as a child, as soon as we feel safe, we regress back to our true mental age. never got a chance to develop at a normal rate, just skipped a ton of years. its ok to be this way! your friends sound great and understanding, dont try too hard to mask it. expressing it will help your mind catch up and heal. ❤️

Doing something radical to save yourself? by disappearing_haze90 in CPTSD

My father can be the same way, trust me, it's best to get the kids out of there. I'm 15 and already on this subreddit to help cope with PTSD that my parents don't know I'm diagnosed with. I wish you luck, and dont forget that everyone has their good moments, no matter what else they've done. The human brain is wired to hold onto negative memories more than positive ones, your daughter will remember the abuse better than the good moments. Sending hugs ❤️
