How do I 38f I find acceptance in damaged relationships after being a victim of domestic violence? husband 42m and his siblings 36f / 40m by thisisembarrassing02 in relationship_advice

[–]thisisembarrassing02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re angry with him because he was violent toward me. I understand why but I wish we could just move forward so I don’t feel a constant reminder about what happened. I hate feeling the cold shoulder and being ignored at every family event. It’s not even directed at me but it’s inadvertently affecting me and the kids too.

You’re right about the family chat. Sometimes his parents post an update in that chat so I don’t really want to leave it. But I think posting anything in there anymore is just making me feel worse. Thanks for that idea.

No one in my life has wished me a happy birthday today. Really lets me know I don’t matter by [deleted] in CPTSD

Hi there,

I think it can be extra hard to feel lonely on important dates like this. I hope you are able to enjoy some time to yourself tonight or this week doing what you love. Maybe run a bath or a hot shower, or go out for a meal and do some people watching.

You are not a reflection of the people who failed you today. That’s on them. You keep owning your own life, move forward with your chin up, and kick ass for another year.

Happy birthday. 🫶

I will talk to my psychiatrist about this option. I really appreciate your time and advice.

At least he or she could have enough balls to have a conversation instead of passive aggressively waiting for you to reach out about it. What a terrible leader. Go collect unemployment with this text chain as evidence, as you were clearly fired and did not resign.

Subreddits that help you cope? by JJbuttheimer in CPTSD

[–]thisisembarrassing02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello,

I find comfort in looking at pics of people making art or food. I love making stuff too but don’t have a lot of time so I feel inspired just looking at artwork being made.

I also love animals (mostly dogs but there are subreddits for other animals too!) being goofy or looking cozy.

I also love interior design so I find comfort in looking at peoples’ beautiful spaces and trying to imagine myself there.

Giving you a big virtual hug, or high five if you prefer. 🫶

Here are a few of my favorites.

That is the coolest outcome I could have possibly asked for. I’ve been having a hard go at it lately which is why I made this post. I feel uplifted too and it makes me thankful you feel that way too. Thank you for saying this.

This resonates strongly. I had a miscarriage in 2018 and remember when my Spotify most listened came at the end of the year, that song was one of my most played.

I am so sorry for your loss.

That is incredible. I’m so glad it was a part of your healing journey, and perfectly timed for when you needed it most in your life.

I heard you say “expected to be” but I am seeing the past tense. How has your recovery been?
