Hey Justmagikkal, thanks so much for sharing your story. I totally feel you. And I bet MANY other people do too.

Yes, many people say emotional abuse is worse than physical. It really gets into the psyche and of course as a child, your brain is still developing and very susceptible to these influences. And from my experience, you then spend your adult life trying to unlearn all that bullshit!!

Did you ever have any kind of therapy? If you're open to sharing, I'd love to hear how it impacted you.

Also, a book that is really amazing - Complex PTSD, From Surviving To Thriving, by Pete Walker. You may already be advanced in your healing and growth so it might not add anything new for you. But might be worth checking it out :) xx
