Hi I had flashbacks today triggered by work. Basically I was bullied by the family. I’m working through stuff with three members. But the fourth I wasn’t reacting much to until today. I had a major flashback to her bullying me from around the age of 9. She was/is two years older than me. I was made to feel very small and not allowed to be myself in front of her. Where were my parents when this was happening every day? Oh they didn’t care because they did the same to me. But this sister I’m really had an intense reaction today to flashbacks with her involved. Severe psychological abuse. Just need your support and prayers for now as I let go of this **** so I can let it go.

I'm sorry that you're having such horrible flashbacks. They are terrible, I know! You did NOT deserve the way that you were treated.

Flashbacks can be hard. I was emotionally and physically abused. I get really tense when someone starts yelling around me,and I playback the stuff I endured as a kid. In time things got better, but I still try to stay away from the triggers if at all possible. It helps to talk about it though and this forum is a good place to find support
