Feeling stressed

Feeling stressed

My dad always speaks to me and my mum in a horrible manner, then tells me he loves me. I have no one to talk to about this. He doesn't understand what hes doing!! I think he has dementia also

@Spiritmission6 i'm glad that you and your mum will be doing that soon! and yes, definitely better to get out of that toxic situation rather than staying. i hope the move goes well ❤️

Re: Feeling stressed

that's really tough @Blackcloud, generational trauma can feel heavy to carry. i've been learning a bit more about veteran mental health through the forums actually (the shoulder-to-shoulder spaces as well as the webinars). there's a lot impact on both the veteran themselves, and their family/friends/carers (RECORDING: The Hidden Impact of Military Service o... - SANE Forums - this webinar touched on it so well!)

the good news is, we have the power to end the generational trauma cycle and make a change. it will be hard but i believe it will be worth it too. 💙

@Spiritmission6 yay glad to hear you and mum are going to move!! got my fingers crossed that you both get the space and peace of mind you both deserve 💙

Hi, I just wanted to show my support here. Living with a parent who is verbally abusive is not great. I come from an abusive background and have a lot of childhood trauma associated with it. I hope that when you move that it will be a fresh start for you and your mum.

Re: Feeling stressed

Hi @Spiritmission6, sorry to hear that your dad is speaking to you that way.

Like @Oaktree I am here to show you my support too, I lived in a home with domestic violence, until I was old enough to move out.

I get it. The words that get thrown around hurt a lot and the constant push/pull leaves you totally confused, you aren’t alone here 🙏

I hope you moving out with your mum helps your situation. When do you move?
sitting with you 🙏
