I been trough abuse as a child and young adult. And it was both my parents and an older brother who did it.
No one belived that it was true about the abuse until I was 42 years old.
My mother probably had munchhausen by proxy. a doctor told me that it seems like it after I told him what happened to me. She took me to the doctor many times when I was not sick and told the doc I was ill. Either MbyP or she immagined that I was sick or something like it.
I remember both my parents heard voices and the voices told them to do things. they punished me because the voices had told me I had done things and they thought the voices told them the truth.
I have had alcohol problems and also other kinds of problems.
My mother died recently. I am happy she is dead.. but now bad memories comes up.
Iam going to a counceller talking about things by the way.
Hi, apples,
welcome to the forum! :wave: I am very glad you've found us.
It is so sad that you had to endure so much as a child/adolescent from the people who should have cherished and protected you. Double betrayal. :sadno:
This is a place with a lot of supportive and non judgmental people. I hope you'll find a safe haven that helps and validates you during your recovery.
