[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if I’ll “get over” it, but a few things have helped: Parenting my kids like I wish I had been parented - and sometimes I even “parent” myself by making up, in my head, the response I * should * have gotten from a loving caring parent. Taking a break from my parent so I had space to process. (My parent could have cared less, it was several months before they noticed) Learning about CPTSD and understanding why I am how I am. I can’t change who I am, but I can now see how some of my “personality” is really stuff I developed during a neglectful childhood. My parent’s neglect led to me being unsafe - available to repeated sexual abuse by a third party. Processing that has been hard and I’m still working on it. [/quote]
