My parents and 3 siblings live in a small community where we were all raised. I left for 30 years to go to college and pursue a successful professional career. I moved back 9 years ago after PTSD DX, thinking the support of family and life long friends would be a healthy & healing environment. Unfortunately, my parents & siblings do not believe in "mental illness". They choose to ignore me and my struggles as if that will make the problem go away. Told me I was "dwelling in my diagnosis" and "couldn't believe you have done this to yourself". The amount of negativity from my family has resulted in me severing ties with them. It is very painful, but I am in control of the toxic relationships in my family. I wish I had a loving and caring family support system......but I don't.
