Am I allowed to start being upset and getting help for emotional abuse 3 years after it happened?

Absolutely. Unresolved trauma can affect you for years. You should definitely get help for anything that is causing you pain in your life. Whether that's trauma from your past or things that are happening right now, you never have to justify your feelings to anyone. You're allowed to feel anything that you feel!! I hope you get some help soon and find some peace (:

Dear it is totally fine to feel like that. Many get abused but there are many people who see the effects of these abusing later on in their lives. It's perfectly normal. Do not feel awkward about this. And about getting help part, yes you could and you should. Wish you all the luck and happy life dear. :)

Yes of course! And it totally doesn't matter why it's been taking 3 years. Once my therapist told me that the soul just allows bad memories to come up when it is ready for them. It is never too late to start working on something and you will always have a right to get help. Nobody should be left alone.

of course, sometimes we don't realise we were emotionally abused until long time after it happened; or we feel the result of this abuse after some time... so it's totally normal to seek help just now... And it's 100% ok to start being upset even 3 years after...

Of course!!! As you grow you realize how you were treated. And maybe your brain shut out the pain and is ready to work through the abuse. It might be a sign that your body is ready to face the problem head on and ready to get help.

we all heal at our own time so it's very important to acknowledge that you have emotional pain and start working through a plan to become happy and healthy.

The answer is Yes, you are allowed to start being upset and getting help for emotional 3 years after it happened. There is no necessity that you have to upset exactly after that happened. I felt myself that whenever something wrong happens I get numb to the situation later I feel upset.. So there are situation later on when you are triggered to do grief over a situation and are allowed to get help. No matter when, but in short there is nothing wrong to get help early or soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes!! Often we suppress our emotions and feelings as a way to protect ourselves from the things causing us pain. It is never to late let these out. If we keep them trapped we can never truly heal.

Most definitely. Sometimes it takes a lot of time before we realize we have been in an emotional abuse situation. Plus sometimes we carry guilt for allowing ourselves in that situation. Getting help at any time is the right time for you.

Asking for help is always allowed. Feeling abused has nothing to do with time and asking for help has to do with your feelings and when you feel ready to talk about it with another person.
