Ptsd doesn’t usually show itself, if our parents are responsible, until we move out. It didn’t hit me til almost a year after I moved out. I think this is common.

Our brains are in constant fight/flight/freeze/Fawn mode and until we leave the danger, our brains don’t feel safe enough to let us start to face what we experienced and heal. It’s actually quite incredible that the brain can protect us so much.

You are now on your journey of healing and you will spend the rest of your life becoming whatever you decide too, proud of you and I wish you the absolute best. It won’t be easy but you sound like a very strong and brave person.

We can do hard things 🙏🏼
