[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trauma doesn’t always look like what you’d expect. Somebody like Pete Davidson is what most people think when they think of trauma — watching your dad die on 9/11. One big or a series of big events. But I can be cumulative. I grew up upper middle class in a stable two parent home in which I had everything I could ever want and a large loving extended family and friend group. However, my mother found a way to call me fat every day, and was generally disapproving of everything I did or said and expressed it to my face on a regular basis. No where near as bad as being a refugee or bei mg raped but it was EVERY DAY from my earliest memories until the day I left home. It can be a cumulative effect of something that seems small. I’ve never known parental approval or acceptance and that’s traumatic. [/quote]

Agree with you, and I'm sorry. ❤[/quote]

Agree. Ongoing traumatic stress syndrome is real and usually due to such ongoing emotional, verbal and psychological abuse.  The abuse ties the line between those abuses and physical. Threats and physical bullying may emerge and things may get physical.
