Trauma stress

Community Member

Been suffering in silence. Severely traumatized. Triggers are like a button that gets pushed and I have a really bad reaction. I've endured a lifetime of narcissistic abuse from my parents and brother and sisters. I've been silenced with mental illness. I've been targeted by the worst of the worst. I've been assaulted in every form. I've had to fight for everything only to be stripped of everything that is my own. I am a destroyed person, yet I do everything I can to look after myself. I have lost my child to a family of narcissists who have poisoned her mind with lies since she was only 14. I haven't seen her for 11 years. They smeared my reputation they tell everyone I'm crazy, not that I give what their friends think of me as their friends are narcissists too. I've had close calls in my life with a psychopath and an addict and a gangstalking cult. I was harmed and my mother silenced me.
