Some flashbacks today

Sometimes I want to say to my dad to marry the tv because he loves it so much, and he rarely does the work in the house. He has done that since I was very young. I have no memory of doing anything in the house or outside with him, other than trips that my mom forced my dad to do with us. He was always out studying and doing work. While he was gone, my mom put all her anger from child rearing stress on me because I was old enough and because my brother was only a few years old. I always do the housework and chores with my mom and the men do nothing around the house. They watch tv or play games. But I guess my dad is trying to do better.

I’m trying to rectify the anger by saying “he makes money and that’s why I’m living well” but I wish I can tell him to bring my childhood back. I never made any memories with my dad growing up, and he doesn’t even know what happened in the house. I feel angry and I feel guilty every day for everything. I feel so bad for the society for dealing with my ■■■■.

I’m tired of smiling and pretending that everything is okay. I’m tired of faking it all. I’m tired of acting like I’m strong. I’m done with this ■■■■.

There’s nothing you can do about your disabilities and parents aren’t perfect. That’s all I can say.

I’ve already moved past the past but I keep getting hurt by what happened because of flashbacks.

I need to be easy on my parents. They’re already trying so hard.

I don’t have personal experience with PTSD. So I’m afraid I can’t help much. I’ve heard that for some people EMDR helps.

I haven’t found that much of an improvement from EMDR. I really haven’t found what works for my ptsd. It’s becoming complex at this point. But recently, I’ve increased my medication dose and I feel a lot better.

Are you taking medication for the ptsd? Or are you in therapy? Try to take it easy with yourself and your parents. We all make mistakes and some we can’t take back. Those flashbacks need to be treated some way. You deserve to enjoy your adulthood. Your childhood is gone and it’s not coming back.
