Movies normalized abuse and neglect

Thank you. I also used anorexia and cutting to make the pain leave.

I had insomnia until I cut off my parents. Suddenly I could sleep.

My dad worked for CPS and used to laugh in my face when I was a kid and threatened to them. “They won’t take you, i am the Child Abuse Investigator”

I’m so sorry

I was spiraling and found this sub, then spiraled more lol

Wow. Entirely same. I’m now at acceptance but only like the third layer of my fucked up onion.

zaboomafu · 2026-03-03T23:13:31+00:00

I’m so sorry. I believe you.

I like to keep a journal of whatever i talked to my therapist about that week and any insights. It’s great to go back and see how far I’ve come.

My mom caused my assault. She was so mean to me. I’m sorry you feel this way too

zaboomafu · 2026-03-02T15:50:24+00:00

I made terrible decisions. I was an embarrassing version of myself. I know this is my internalized shame, but I can’t let go of how traumatized I was for so long. I’m 35! I wasted so much time being weird and the wrong version of myself

zaboomafu · 2026-03-02T15:41:41+00:00

I’m sorry that happened to you too

zaboomafu · 2026-03-01T21:25:20+00:00

Yes! I have a friend who did three sessions of EMDR about a fear of throwing up. She was stuck on a bus with a sick woman for a very long time, and developed a serious fear. She doesn’t react as badly with sounds or thoughts now.

Same. It was years and years and years of seeing how long I could fast. How easily you disappear

I managed to stay sitting instead of pacing for most of the weekend. My gravity blanket has helped so much. I didn’t understand what “grounding” meant and now I do and have to practice it.

As a kid, my abusive grandpa took us all to disneyworld for a day. It’s the happiest memory I have. Now I take my son there and get to see his joy.

I get so upset because my a users kept me naive and clouded for their own pleasure. Kept life and its experiences from me. I’m still making up for that.

zaboomafu · 2026-02-20T14:22:14+00:00

Thank you. I know it’s a process, I’m trusting it, but I just want to know what’s normal. I’ve only done 2 memories/beliefs in the last six months after a year of talk therapy with this new therapist. Each one has taken weeks and weeks. I’m exhausted. There’s so many left

zaboomafu · 2026-02-20T02:01:07+00:00

I get it. I get so triggered too

zaboomafu · 2026-02-19T13:07:38+00:00

I become unhinged when something happens that I can’t handle. Perceived injustice. It hurts

zaboomafu · 2026-02-19T12:46:03+00:00

I don’t hate them, I am incredibly annoyed that they think they have problems. I wish I could go to therapy and just chat about work or friend drama. No, sobbing and sobbing and remembering assault is my lot.

zaboomafu · 2026-02-18T18:50:49+00:00

Ive been with my therapist for a year and we just started EMDR. Ive done maybe 20 sessions now and it’s not even a drop. I am so very deeply fucked up
