I saw this, and I relate all too well. I wish I could cry (maybe I could heal then, or start to heal )

“When I tell my child I’m going to beat them, they know I’ll probably let them win the race”

There are more where that came from..

Here’s one about psychological abuse which is relevant to me

“When I tell my child I’m sending them away, they know I’ll be right there with them and caring about them”....

Does anyone relate?


How to heal from childhood abuse (especially when trust is an issue.. aside from medication (NOT an option for me and not something I want in replies here) or “moving on” - I can’t move on from my brain and can’t even numb it out )
