So, it has come to my attention that I have PTSD. Why?

My parents viciously would punch me in the face if I did something wrong, which was often, and one time, I was beaten viciously with a baseball bat, to the point where my right jaw was broken.

How can I overcome this? What can I do to help myself?


If I had an answer for that, it would help me out as well, I have PTSD as well. I believe that this disorder can be controlled, but it's going to take a team effort. Remember, You are never alone. There are more people like us than you think. You just have to look.

I appreciate the responses in my thread.

I've taken this year off on disability to thoroughly work on my healing from severe physical/emotional/neglect abuse from childhood, and having to witness them beat my severely disabled sister (Rett's Syndrome). I cut off my father from all communication a few years ago to end that toxicity after I gave him so many chances. My mother I had given so many chances, and now I learned she recently stole about 10k from me through money my grandmother had set aside for me and she took.

I'm contemplating cutting off all communication with my mother as well. Maybe then I can start the forgiveness process. I don't know that I can ever forgive them. Everyday is like waking up onto a battlefield, not exactly knowing when the next shell or explosive will hit during the daytime, or if at all, or if I'm caught up in a heavy firefight most of the time.
