My father suffered from C-PTSD. He was physically abused by his father when he was young (growing up in the great depression era). That particular grandfather died years before I was born. My dad referred to him as “one mean, angry SOB” that I was very lucky not to meet. At times, he would remember things and break down for a while. I have stories that he told me of the abuse, but I do not want to trigger anyone here. My dad learned how to be a great father to me and my sister by doing the opposite of what his father did to him.
I suffer from it, but not because of my parents. It was caused by prolonged constant bullying by classmates. It is something I cannot escape from no matter how much time passes. If only I could learn to forget.
Have read this type of issue many times ...And although its reality may never go away , a technique by which , I have tried to re- catagorize it It helps me not to get into dwelling on it as much or as long during episodes of memory..

..and perhaps rather than victim thinking ...might be to use "modern psyche techniques" to help reframe those experiences. Thise peoples lifes had to be pretty shallow and very possibly distrubed in order for
them to feel (( value to themselves))..........
AT THAT AGE was to bully & etc... And you gotta wonder ? what happened to them ? to be drawn to behave as such?
And try to hold onto this thought ,immediately , when your thoughts , head off in that direction .
I believe this method can/ will , allow some level of healing ,if practiced regularily .
.( SELF PITY : disclaimer/ warning)Am seriously sorry ,i had to ever be in such a position to self learn this with minor direction from 10 yrs of pysche stuff Docs..And have some empathy with every posting to this thread!...
