A lot of people here are saying they were able to slowly remember memories that had been erased...I would love to know how. I want to remember!

Is any particular type of therapy helpful for this?

With my CPTSD, a lot of my life has been erased from my memories, including one traumatic event I only found out about a few months ago.
Does anyone else have this?

I know that most people want to erase their bad memories, but I really want to remember. My narcissistic father already makes me doubt that anything bad happened...so I need my memories back so I can confirm what I already know.

For so long I thought I was crazy because I was having these random feelings come up and not knowing why I felt like that. For example, I would feel anxious and empty when my husband left for work...and a couple of months ago I found out I was emotionally abandoned suddenly by my father (after being enmeshed with him for so long).
I guess it's just frustrating not remembering so much of my life! 

Thank you for your replies!

Trust me I completely understand how a narcissist thinks, acts, and their tactics. That's not the problem.
I have plenty of knowledge about narcissists and cptsd, but what I lack is someone who can empathise with me, and truly understand what I am going through.

I plan on cutting out my family when I'm ready. But I feel like I am already mourning their loss. And it hurts so bad! And as if my dad hasn't screwed me up enough...now he is taking my family away from me. I have so much anger towards him I want to explode.

Hi everyone!

It's nice to be among people who understand trauma.   

If I was to say I was physically or sexually abused, people would feel sorry for me. I hate that emotional abuse is misunderstood and viewed as 'not as bad' as any other type of abuse.

I grew up with a father who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Narcissistic abuse has ruined my life. I am so alone. My father has convinced my family that I'm crazy and HE is the victim. At a time I need support the most, he is ruining my reputation and turning my family against me.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Or does anyone else feel frustrated and alone and that no-one understands what they're going through?
