Venting

[simplethoughts]

So I am currently in the hospital due to a mini stroke. My realtionship with my parents is not that good. I grew up in a home with domestic violence and have so many ugly memories. I remember my father hitting my mom from when I was age 6 until I was 18. We have no communication or a real parents/daughter relationship. They only call me when they need something or money. I am not rich but I have a stable job and a house so they assume I have money to throw around. I told them yesterday that I had been admitted to the hospital and my mom calls me today. She asked me how I was feeling and asked me for money again. I am not sure if I am in the wrong but it makes me feel like shit that they never take interest in me and only call me when they need something. I am not sure if they realize how much damage all that trauma caused me. Do they ever stop and think why I do not talk to them? Thanks for listening, I have been dealing with these internal thoughts for the past 10 year. I am now 30 and have not been able to erase my awful past. The images are just so vivid😔

I am very happy that you have been able to grow and be independent and hold down a job simplethoughts. You have overcome a lot. Have you been in therapy for this? It is so much work to process things that we have hidden away and tried to keep from feeling...
