Hey, so I know I'm not one of your friends, but like I wrote in comment under your last post, I personally know how bad trauma can influence one's health and I just wanted to tell you that I'm also here if you want to talk to someone who doesn't know you personally. Sometimes that's easier. I would've sent this as a message but I can't haha. Please don't feel pressured to answer. I just wanted to let you know, that I'm here, too. Like, I'm sure, many other lovely people.
OMG! We can be friends, you know 🫂 I just replied to your comment! Thank you so much 🥹 I’m sad to know that you have experience with how trauma can influence one’s health, though it feels nice to know that I’m not alone and others have walked this road! 🫂
Do you have any experience with abusive/toxic parents? I’ve always thought my father was just very narcissistic, but it turns out that it was more than that. He took pride in hurting us (emotionally)… So that’s what I’m struggling with now. I feel icky. I mean. I do remember him smiling when he took things away from me and made me sad… but… I just feel disgusted knowing that everything was just about control for him, and not once ounce of love, you know? 😭
For real, it is often easier talking to people that don’t know you, than those who do. I think that’s why I’ve found it so much easier to bond and relate with people on the internet. And people are just really kind 💕
