Hi
i have recently finished my second group of psychology sessions over a period of 3 years for PTSD , depression and anxiety .
my problems are associated with childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence which has been a result my past .
Im 58’yrs old and I just think my family show no concern for what Im going through and always say that’s in the past , obviously i know that but you have these reoccurring thoughts , negative remarks from family members which often get me annoyed .My understanding was that your initial point of support should be at home and with family but I have found that not to be true .
ive been there for members of my family through their bad times , helping with drug addicted family members , carer for my disabled sister ( disabled as result of domestic violence )., my Dads drinking problems , helped my sister look after her grandson but when I’m at rock bottom and wanted to commit suicide I have no understanding , support from any of them .Apparently I deceived my Dad re my sexual abuse but I have 3 sisters that also were but I was effected worse and abuse more severe .
my Dad only feels sorry for one of my sisters and he thought him and I were good .
i try to get through my days but will not at any time but up with my family throwing negative remarks in my face when I’m struggling and then I defend myself by giving my opinion back to get cut off and things thrown back at me .
ive found it hard to get through my days but find myself not wanting to have any connection with family especially as I said when I’ve helped on numerous occasions and then feeling no one is there for me .
os it right how I feel?
your opinion if you have gone through the same will be appreciated
