Rules

Some Rules
1. Be kind: We're all here because we're dealing with something in our past, so please keep this in mind when posting and commenting. Invalidating other's emotions and experiences is NOT OK.
2. Be respectful: No racism, misogyny, misandry, homophobia, transphobia, body shaming, ableism, or any other bigotry. Slurs will not be tolerated. Please read our policy on slurs
3. No personal agendas: We all have our own views on politics and religion, and these can tie into our trauma, but this is not a place to push our views on others. This is not a place for debate. Memes with political references are OK, but let's keep these to a minimum.
4. Please tag your posts: Please use the NSFW and spoiler tags when appropriate. Please feel free to add a CW tag, but keep in mind that this sub comes with an implicit content warning due to its nature. No porn, excessive nudity, gore, or "shock" content.
5. No abusers: This is a safe space for people with CPTSD. If you are a parent, ex-partner, etc. who abused another user of this subreddit, you will not be allowed to post here. Users: please report to the mods and admins if any user harasses you. Stalking of any kind is not permitted.
6. No medical advice: We are not medical professionals, and no one here can give you medical advice or a diagnosis over the internet. Do not ask if you have CPTSD, if your friend has it, etc. If you fear for your safety or another person's safety and are seeking help, please see the resources link in this sidebar. We are not crisis counselors.
7. Respect other's privacy: No links to personal social media or any other personally identifiable information.
8. Stay (somewhat) on topic: This is more of a guideline than a strict rule, but posts should be at least somewhat related to CPTSD.
9. Surveys/ studies require approval: Please message the moderators before posting links to any kind of survey, academic or otherwise

Trumpers FAFO

I’m just noticing that so many people in light of the election are choosing to learn what we’ve already known. No contact is a valid option and sometimes your relatives truly give you no choice if you want peace and safety. This isn’t me going “haha now you’re going to learn!” Truly I’d love to be wrong about Trump, but I don’t think I am and I won’t stand for ignorance bigotry and hate.

To those who’ve gone no contact I escaped my abusive family in 2017 and went no contact in 2019. I know how much strength that took, I know that it was a last resort, and how lonely,painful, and freeing it can be. I wish you all the best holidays possible with your real family whether they are blood or not.

And I hope this will reduce the number of times we hear, “but she’s your mother!” etc.

are you okay, pookie?

remember, life is like a box of chocolate. you gotta eat the worse flavours to savour the ones you like. or something like that.

regardless, bad happens but bad is not bad forever. bad will become less bad over time, ya feel me?

A mother’s love–

She also used to say things like “you’re seriously going out like that?” And other fun phrases when I was growing up. If it wasn’t my stepdad making me feel like garbage and telling me I’m not only “undesirable” because I’m not feminine enough or I looked too intimidating it was my mom making fun of my body and looking constantly for something to pick at.

I had hoped she was over that when I became an adult, but I guess she had to hurt my feelings one last time.

when i correct my triggered behaviour so i don't hurt anyone but i end up hurting someone anyways

lost a friend because i waited too long to calm down and view the situation logically instead of straightaway communicating that i felt threatened by what they did... i love my flight/freeze response

I really loved and trusted her and she cheated on me and lied

And now I think I probably deserved it and will continue to deserve it in any future relationships. Fun.
