I want to have a ‘proper
Hi all,
I have been and still suffer from emotional abuse from my parents (primarily from my mother now). I have had legitimate support from psychologists since last year, so I am well on my way to healing from the C-PTSD it has caused. However, I just can't seem to get over this sort of... I don't know, grief? Or maybe a sense of unfairness? That I feel when I hear about or see other people's parents or grandparents. I just feel like I wish so deeply that I had a 'proper' family, with a non-abusive mom, a present dad, and grandparents who I can talk to without my mom distancing me from them. I wish I could talk to my grandparents but even though they're nice to me they were apparently abusive towards my mom and I just don't know how to feel about that. I would be so happy to finally rid myself of my mom but I still really want a proper mom.
Is anyone experiencing anything similar? It would be great to know I'm not alone in this.
