Sounds horribly traumatic. Are you in a situation where you can or are in some type of therapy? I also have CPTSD and dealt with it successfully my entire life until the last year. I have been seeing a therapist, but we are still primarily working on some traumatic events that have occurred in the last year, that are getting in the way of working on the older traumas, but my therapist is aware of some of it and hopefully I'll be in a place soon where we can start working on it.
