I Hate Fighting And Arguing

Mum and dad had some real blazing rows, back when I was around 5 or so. Not nice; really vicious. At one point I felt that mum was going to leave dad...leave me and my sisters...for this other guy.

Freaked me out.

Whenever I hear an argument I just find myself transported to that frightened 5 year old on that day...

PTSD? Maybe.

Sorry. Maybe seek a counselor to find out if it is PTSD or panic attacks etc.

@Fungirlmmm I know they never did it on purpose; heightened emotions brings that stuff out of you, wherever you are, and I know - intellectually - that mum’s drink problems were a major factor...since she stopped drinking they have rarely, if ever, argued....

But yes, panic attacks sometimes. Counselling might be a good idea. Thanks...
