Essentially trauma weekly, every week, throughout my whole childhood. 😢 Despicable words spewn at me from my narcissist parent..saying I was the
* reason*for their problems. At just three. She left a neighbor to look after me for about an hour outside, and I went in without them, at three, and fell backwards down the stairs at the top step. I gouged my eye badly at the bottom. I remember a lot of blood.
But more than that it was the screaming in my face, saying 'dont be lazy' if I even read a BOOK. 🫨 Bullying me about where I left some papers on the table. And one night really stands out... I was about seven and had asked a question while they were near the stove...they started RAGING at me that 'Cant you SEE what I'm doing?!! Why do t you pick the right TIME??' ANd if I said something to defend myself, they yelled Who do you think you are? I don't listen to You, you listen to ME and that's it. It was hell. Just an utter nightmare. I have PTSD today from it, crippling anxiety, and do t ever date because I felt I was a broken horrible being. 😢
