I just was told by a T that I have PTSD from being abuse emotionally and physically as a child. I don’t really understand how that’s possible but I’m wondering if other people on here have PTSD from the same issues?
So my mom, my abuser, doesn’t think she’s done anything wrong and has never apologized even though she knows I blame my mental health issues on her. I have bipolar, BPD and now PTSD. I doubt the bipolar thing but I know I have BPD and that is environmental. For people who were abused by their parents, do you have a relationship with them? I keep forgiving my mom and all of her stupid bullsh*t. She is a drug addict. She has serious issues. I have a lot of unresolved issues that I have to work through. My T wants to do EMDR and I think if I talk to my mom or have contact that it will be counterproductive to getting on my way to recovery. My fiancé has PTSD too but from being in Iraq. He deals with his a lot different than me though. I feel like my mom is toxic to me. She never does anything that helps me-like being there for me. Its all about her. Is it wrong of me to want nothing to do with her? I have to hear from other people “oh she’s your mom and you only have one mom…”
