Good post Rusby and so true. I have been challenged that way myself, and actually with my sister as well who, instead of being supportive was actually mean to me. My therapist had explained to me that not only was I traumatized, but was repeatedly retraumatized which made the trauma even worse.

A Trauma is healed much better when a person has a group of other individuals that are supportive. A trauma is made worse when a person is humiliated for how they feel and what a trauma did to them.
