My parents are good people. They tried very hard.

But my dad just has issues with trauma/anger and never managed it well.

He hurt me physically as a child and it traumatized me, too. I never got over it.

I'm a wreck as an adult. And his lack of awareness and subsequent behavior just constantly resurface this for me. I can't escape.

It's not just about processing childhood trauma. It's about current exposure.

Is there a way that you can get some healthy space from him?

@SinlessOnslaught I'm sorry to hear that. I think that's one of the only ways to heal and move on. It's hard on a person's mental health to be stuck with someone who may have been abusive towards them.
@Chris00987 Thank you. I'm trapped and everyone around me blamed me.

@SinlessOnslaught Sometimes people don't understand the pain of others until they've walked a mile in their shoes. You're gonna have to be your own best friend. I hope you can get out of that situation.
