Same here. Family thinks I should just forget about what happened and get over it. They don't understand and never will.

Ugg, your feelings are valid, and it’s the old saying “until you’ve walked a mile in my shoes” I think it’s easier for family to be in denial, and it’s easier for them to say, “just let it go” they don’t understand that trauma doesn’t work that way. I actually feel sorry for them, they are living an ignorant life, and that’s sad in itself to be so closed minded and not in touch with THEIR feelings. Thankfully we have each other here, and we are sooo blessed to be living in a time where this is even possible. Keep your head up, find 1 thing that went right every night, it could be as small as you brushed your teeth, hair, and put deodorant on!!! Keep working on yourself, and try not to get hung up on who understands and who doesn’t because at the end of the day, we are the only ones who will care enough about us. Make it a good day friend. 🤗 hugs
