hello everyone
well starting out with the first trauma as I recall it after many years floundering within society.

  I was approximately 3 years old. I was meant to be having asleep in the afternoon with my older brother. i stood up on the bed after being told by my mother to lay down and go to sleep. it didn't register with me that their was agitation in her voice and the sensation of defying gravity even just for a moment was just way to tempting to ignore. as i stood up this mischevious grin enveloped across my face and i was awash with what i recall was a blishful joy. i can recall it vividly as it began to flood through me. i looked at my older brother and proceeded to begin to jump up and down on the bed. he did likewise. the next thing i recall is hearing " right " the next thing i saw was the door burst open and this person with spittle coming out of her mouth burst through the door. she went straight towards my older brother and latched hold of him and wailed into him striking perhaps two or three times. i went into shock and stood their agaped at the ferousity of her thrashing. my turn was next and i was picked up by one arm and struck at least twice. i recall laying on my bed and turning into the wall and hating the pain of the thrashing away. i think i blacked out as i was that full of pain.
   i was on holiday overseas getting a deep tissue massage and when the masseus went over this particular area i flinched as if it was only a recent injury and still bruised. when i allaye this to someone else they informed me that it was muscle recall and another thing i had written about that incident from a childs perspective and had referred to my mother as this big red dragon, that was liberating but i blamed myself for years for having gotten my brother into trouble. over a period of time this memory began to enlarge asked myself some probong questions as to who really it was it was that originally may have instigated that game. i suspect it was him originally and i just became enthralled in the euphoria of it.
   there is a load more of these abuses that i will post over the next few weeks ( not to sound like a champion ) and i hoping to connect in some way with others as i know it only has to happen once or twicw to become afflicted.
   just going to place possible trigger in brackets in my heading as I'm slowly becoming familiar with how this site functions, any tips and guidance will be appreciated.

Emotional Abuse / Re: Emotional Abuse by my FOO

I'm not real sure of myself at present but I like the language you guys use especially in some of the responses. just to contribute a little my mother wasn't much of an academic but she use to say things like" jealousy a curse but pregnancy is worse " ummm what was another favorite " I brought you into this world I will take you out of it " things like that were really corrosive to my emotional well being and I even recall drawing obsessive love hearts with the intials of the girl I liked at school in the heart , my decrepid mother joined in momentarily with my brothers and sister to tease me , at other times she would be distraught and blubber that she loved us kids but it looked like she was about to commit suicide , It boded well with her saying I'm sick of you bloody kids , I have come to learn that she is in denial about the fact she has mental healthy issues herself. she recently had a stroke an I was blamed for the deterioration in her health , I felt a pang of pity that one feels when an animal needs to be put down and I don't even feel he slightest bit of guilt about that. as far as I'm concerned she provided me with food an shelter but aprt from that it was just rubbish

I do know the helplessness and despair one feels when they feel like their unsalvageable as the primary caregiver is more toxic an basically only has that too pass on. I also so hate it when people say that you hae to forgive the perpertrator, I find that I hae to protect myself by fully accepting the toxicity of the person before I can encounter them again or those of a similar disposition and its also confusing because if you smell something bad you pyshically are repulsed with emoinal abuse I have come to realize that my mind switches off or I go into a self protected aversion, I don't shut down and go numb like I use to , its improving , sorry to hear about your distorted interactions with your caregiver dutchy.
