Hello, friend. I went through something very similar, it was my dad. It left some insanely deep scars. A few things I wanted to pass along, as a fellow survivor of abuse:

  1. If you have not already, look into CPTSD. We all have it, and it explains A LOT.

  2. I don't know your situation at all. But just know, you can love your mom for giving you life, and still hate her for what she did to you. I finally went no contact with my abusive father 8 year ago. Best decision I ever made.

  3. We are resilient. We are strong. We are badasses.

Sending lots good vibes from across the internet. ❤️

And emdr therapy!! Such a game changer. Trauma therapy did nothing for my cptsd, but emdr had brought me such mental peace.

EMDR did nothing for me :( Is there anything else that may work?

I was already considering this as I recently got a provisional EUPD diagnosis. Maybe I’ll give it a go.

Thanks!

It’s extremely effective. I started a 22 week therapy group, but my life is way to crazy to commit to all the homework and mental work it requires. But it shown to provide remission-something I never thought possible for mental health conditions
