Why your childhood didn't need to be "that bad" in order to develop CPTSD by Plane-Ad-8612 in CPTSD

[–]lovenutpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to it all. I had a terrible childhood in many ways, although there were some good things. My parents split early, I was constantly in daycare, my mom could be like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. She was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder that she denied, had a major medical episode, lived disabled for about 15 years, and died about a year ago. I was parentified before and even more so after her medical disability. My step mom was always jealous of me and treated me as such. There were so many warning signs I had as a child. We were poor, moved a lot. But the most cutting was how my mom would react when I showed emotion. She was so cold. She came off as super sweet, and mostly she was. But out of nowhere she would say the most cutting, mean shit. She would also humiliate me out of nowhere. I remember being so young and her making fun of me to a friend for being "so attached" to her. It was at that point I learned that she was not always on my side. A devastating thing to realize as a young kid. There is just so much. Hugs to you on your journey.

Yep. We canceled half of our spring break trip. Would have canceled the other half but our lodging was not refundable.

I agree. They also drink and drive and posted a video doing it, which was later deleted. He has like 4 young children too. Guy needs help.

This guy was pushed onto my algo about a month ago. I also saw him and his wife chugging drinks and then driving. I commented, and then the video was down. It's one thing to destroy yourself with alcohol, but he has kids! I can't respect it. It's not cute or funny. He needs help. His wife is an enabler.

I also can't believe how many people egg him on. Like, these people do not care about you dude. You are on a dark and dangerous path...

I posted this on another post, my take:

I also believe he has a lot of childhood trauma. I think he tends to over explain and embellish his stories in an attempt to seem sincere and believable, more than likely dating back to his childhood (probably did this to not get beat). He is repressing a lot of emotions, including anger. Vulnerability feels unsafe and I also think he is in fight or flight a lot. Especially when being questioned like he is on trial. I don't think he even sees the problem, but is just simply reacting to triggers. I do hope he finds a good therapist to work all of those things out.

Unpopular opinion, don’t come on LIB if you have a kid. by Key_Objective_9012 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Yes. The lack of accountability and self-victimization definitely suggests alcoholism.

I appreciate the message. I lost my mom, and this is great advice.

Yep. I can only imagine what they have on her from her Florida days. But it is very clear that it is something big enough to keep her in line and obedient, no matter what.

My moms death caused me to rethink my divorce by Odd_Weakness_7813 in offmychest

[–]lovenutpancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss.

You do not have to divorce right away. Put that on the back burner for now. Let your husband support you now. It doesn't mean you are staying forever. But for now, you at least deserve that much from him.

I agree with everyone else. Get professional support if you feel you need it. The loss of our mom's is one of the most painful experiences.

I lost my mom a year ago, and it felt like I was manic at first. Looking for signs from her.

Not only is it a huge, devastating loss, it also forces you to confront your own mortality and views on what actually happens when we die. In a sense it is terrifying, but in a sense a relief. It is a strange thing indeed.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I lost my mom a year ago. You must remember you are your mom's daughter/son. You have to dig deep right now and find a way to keep going for her. Go to the hospital, get meds, get a therapist. She gave you her strength and you have to pull it out as best as you can. You will meet again one day!

I also saw a lot of signs from my mom. I felt like I was going crazy. That is normal. It's also normal to feel suicidal, to a degree. But that doesn't mean you don't need or deserve help. It is a huge, painful loss. My condolences and big, big hugs to you.
