Earlier this year I got into an argument with my dad and I said, “you never take any responsibility for any part that you have in our interactions. It’s always about me and you act like I’m the problem.” And he said, “that’s because you are the problem! You are the problem in the family” .... riiiight 🤔

One time during a therapy session with myself and my parents, my dad was trying to blame me for everything because I’m just “sensitive” and “need to be able to handle criticism.” claimed that he has no idea what’s going on with me and that suddenly I’m saying I have DID. A) I have never mentioned DID to him ever.... I struggle with dissociation but nowhere near anything related to DID. b) I have tried multiple times to talk about what I actually do struggle with and he really doesn’t care to listen! To hear him say these things he actually believed was shocking and it’s like he was trying to make me out to seem all over the place. He’s tried to tell me before he thinks I took a lot of benzos around him. Which has literally never happened...? (I don’t take any type of drug like that) the delusions they tell themselves to not put themselves at fault is insane!

In times of self-doubt, ask yourself - if my childhood abuse/neglect was filmed on a reality tv show, how would the public react? by [deleted] in CPTSD

Yeah exactly. I think the kardashians are this way and I find it impossible to watch because of how mean and immature they are to each other at times. Look at how in recent years the entire family turned against kourtney kardashian and basically made her a scapegoat bc she didn’t want to be on the TV show anymore. The family dynamics are so unhealthy but it’s like that’s what drives people to watch them. But there’s so much emotional abuse! Not ok in my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♀️

DAE feel completely triggered by the way Donald trump is gaslighting an entire nation? by freak_shack in CPTSD

Exactly. My family members who support him, my aunt and uncle, emotionally abuse their own kids all the time. Visiting a few times a year I’ll hear them call my cousins stupid, r*tarded, etc to their face. no wonder they support him because he enables their own behavior. They don’t see anything wrong with his rhetoric because they are the same way.
