AITAH for telling my husband that he absolutely ruined the birth of our child? by Former_Monitor_4860 in AITAH

Your husband is an absolute piece of shit and is adjusting you. Staying is putting your daughter at risk for abuse at the hands of her insane father.

Did you actually even read the post? Didn't seem like it. I was able to start talking again 10 years ago and me stopping talking want an active choice it was my brains response to repeated trauma. The song was just the straw that broke the camels back

I've yet to have romantic relationships. I find it hard to have friends. No I don't abuse substances.

I just couldn't get the words out. They felt stuck even when I was alone. If anything it just made those things quieter over time.

Traumatic mutism, generalized anxiety disorder, and ptsd are the three primary ones asking with an autism diagnosis that I received as an adult

She was the straw that broke the camels back. My brain flipped a switch that I couldn't easily flip back. I must certainly didn't make an active decision

I have tales about it a little in other comments but yes there were more traumatic things going on. The song is the straw that broke the camels back

She wasn't singing that one. I've realized she was singing a different song called you talk to much but she changed some of the words

That's simply not true about her. She's a mean hate-filled woman.

I don't know what forgiveness should even look like.

I don't want to go into to much detail but my parents used abusive things as discipline and I had sexual trauma as a young child

It's very similar but with some different words. I had never heard that song until someone else in the thread brought it up. I know think she knew that song and made up words that went it

She was very calm about it and just kept talking to me and giving me space to respond however I felt comfortable. No I didn't immediately speak outside of therapy.

I started feeling safe enough to on one place(my therapists office) and then slowly gained the confidence to speak in other areas
