Once you realize it all you need to know how to deal with it...dealing is not so hard...you just input your energy, time and emotions only at places where you get to rise up not where you are knocked down...that's the trick practice it for at least 3 months you'll start holding your subconscious consciously...that is when you'll be grateful for everything that happened to you because now you have become unshakable avoid triggers learn to ignore...everyone can speak up but it takes guts to ignore and speak impactful.

[@seaxide7284]

I don't understand why people think you can only have a toxic childhood because of your parents. You could also have it because of the kinds of people you surrounded yourself with which would be your friends. Your 'friends' could have abused you emotionally or mentally maybe even physically. And you shut yourself away from the rest of the world and family because of it. You became distant, anxious, maybe even depressed because of your 'friends'. So the point I'm trying to make is that it's not only your parents that can influence and introduce a toxic childhood experience for an individual, it could very well be your own 'friends'. And I say this from experience.

I can relate to, only I feel like my abandonment issues and wounded inner child shouldn't be what they are, because I had kind parents and friends...they just couldn't be there for me, whether it was due to friends in the summer with busy-ness or a parent with chronic illness, they weren't there as often. I feel bad, like it shouldn't be a problem that I was left alone a lot, after all, I became independent and learned how to emotionally take care of myself at a young age. But somehow, I'm still confused.

But yeah, I recognised that I have at earlier stages in my life had a wounded inner child as a result of narcissistic manipulation, but I have moved on from that and no longer identify with the person who felt that way. It’s scary to realise you don’t recognise your past selves, but I suppose that’s the point of personal development. I can see traits of this wounded inner child in other people I know, and making the connection with how I have felt in the past definitely helps me to empathise more concretely with these people. So thanks for the video, it was enlightening as always 🌻

[@the_whale_9583]

I always thought I had the best childhood anyone could ask for, and the possibility of having a wounded inner child seemed so far fetched to me. But when I realized I am a people pleaser, don't feel safe showing weakness infront of others and am not able to set boundaries without feeling guilty, I got the feeling something may be wrong with my inner child. Somehow this realization created a rush of negaitve emotions like helplessness and sadness, and I felt really small and weak for crying like a baby in my bed. I haven't been to therapy so this is not confirmed by a professional, but I think that when we feel like we're 6 years old again, small and pathetic, it's just that inner child expressing itself, and that is ok! I like to think that there is a grown up version of me that goes to work, does chores, keeps my apartment clean and all of that, and then there is the child version that likes plushies, storys of dragons and fairies, and cute animals. And my grown up version just needs to take care of my child version so both feel safe and acknowledged. Again, this is not anything I heard from a professional but maybe next time you feel like 6 year old you, you can try and let it happen and take care of yourself the way you need it in that moment. And remember you are not pathetic or weak for crying, and you are not the only one who feels like this. :)

This hurts my heart. I've been a wounded child and that affected every aspect of my life. My inabilities to speak up and trust my judgement and make authoritive decisions make so much sense. What's difficult is knowing how emotionally stunted both parents are. Tried sharing my feelings once, it backfired horribly. They yelled a lot, and there was no reasoning or seeing that I was calm and not angry. I don't want to blame them for everything, as they were young and did the best they knew. We had love, but also outdated emotionally constipated traditions that suppressed us; anger was a sign of disrespect. It sucks, I have to go on knowing they'll never understand the damage I'm trying to unravel as an adult. And it's difficult. They love me and mean well, but they may never truly KNOW me 💔

[@bellscb_23]

When I was born I didn't want to drink milk(any kind of milk.) I was the runt in our family, so I was small for my age also. I know what you are saying about having to finish everything on your plate. My mom thought it was psychological that I didn't want to eat but I couldn't eat all that food either. I would throw up too but she said it was just me not wanting to eat. It's too bad adults don't listen to children and children can't completely explain themselves fully. Basically I wanted to say I completely understand what you're saying, I just don't know how to express myself properly. Unfortunately that "not eating thing" has stayed with me because I believe it's medical and not mental.

[@courtneyyoungmusic]

Omg THIS was my childhood. So many nights falling asleep at dinner table because wasn’t allowed to leave before finishing. I simply couldn’t fit it into my belly lol. And yes, had the belt like pretty much everyday and not allowed to leave room until tidied. So I used to spend days locked in there, because even if I tried it was never good enough. I never force feed or pressure my son into eating anything, to ensure he has a healthy relationship with food and his body when he grows up. I also make tidying up toys a really fun thing. If only my parents had the same basic understanding of this whilst raising us.

I looked at the mother and she didn"t look annoyed or anything! its tough to be a kid frankly!!

Dear mother, Memories of childhood are beginning to fade. But I remember beautiful laughter, the wet grass , and the ladybugs we’d catch and play with together. I thought I was on top of the world, even after the abuse. I would forget the marks you left on me , at moments like those. The memories of you screaming , hands around my throat become clear on days my mind is a mess. The cries of my younger brother still haunt me . But when it pours , your cries and screams fade into the background and then I am young again. You hold me close to you, so close I can hear your heart beating. Your scent makes me feel at home. And it pours and pours , and the image of your hair on fire and shattered glass on the floor blend with the beautiful memories, until my mind becomes hazy and I am unable to think straight. It becomes so blurry that I can’t distinguish between the good and bad memories. It continues to pour . I still remember how I would imagine myself in a complete different family, with a present father, loving siblings and a mother who’d cook a delicious meal, especially on days you’d scream and shout , threaten to leave or kill yourself. Why would you expect so much from a seven year old ? It makes me ache , and I wake up in pain in the middle of the night, embracing myself. The memories won’t leave me alone . It pours and it pours It simply won’t stop pouring.

I never tried it, not as a child nor as an adult. She's sick currently and I get texts from my sister saying that I should try to talk to her. I love her so much but I am so hesitant, I cry myself to sleep every now and then. Every conversation goes south with her, I choose not to let my anger consume me, so I just keep thinking until my thoughts settle down eventually. I wish that I had a happy family... But all I get is how much of an unworthy loser I am.

My advice to you, if you decide to see a doctor. Ask the doctor/therapist whether their practise, is based on an holistic approach to mental wellbeing, such as transpersonal psychology. That can truly make a big difference, in how you feel afterwards (how you feel with yourself) after the consultation. Besides the obvious importancy of feeling comfortable, at an consultation with a therapist. I would personally always choose the therapist who work from a viewpoint of transpersonal psychology.

@Heliah Stuurman child abusers do not deserve forgiveness under any circumstance. To forgive an abuser is to submit to an abuser. Forgiving your abuser is not ever necessary. The thought of feeling like you have to forgive them no matter what is one of the many things that gets in the way of healing from abuse. To forgive them is to say it is okay with you what they put you through.

[@vitolopoii7981]

@Heliah Stuurman You just need to find a sliver of empathy for your abuser to move on. To forgive is to trap yourself beneath them, right where they want you. Empathy and the act of forgiveness are 2 different things. Please stop telling people that they have to forgive their abusers. Forgiveness is only for people who make a mistake once or twice maybe. If they attempt to make amends and change themselves and grow as a person, then yeah forgiveness is alright. Child abusers are serial offenders that will never to be able to make any sort of amends. Abusive people always preach that forgiveness is the only way. Now why do you suppose that is?

I wish, my parents could see how I wish I had them to shield me like they shielded my sisters. As an adult in my 40s now, it breaks my heart to realise how badly things that happened in my childhood have left me struggling with major abandonment issues. I am so scared of being abandoned and lonely that I have now chosen to be on my own than let someone leave me. My fear of being abandoned is so severe that as much as I want love, I have now given up on it and instead settled for some peace and stability for the rest of my life.

Inside I'm still the battered 3 y-o, living in fear of his worst enemy, my own father. (The brute's been dead for nearly 60 years---but the damage was done). One of several reasons I never wanted kids, lest they turn out like me. Childhood abuse is now considered a form of PTSD, having many of the same long-term effects.

You're not alone

Never thought, someone can describe all of my thoughts and fears that much clearly .. Instead of being hurt, abandoned, rejected or blamed by others, it's more comfortable to do it by yourself... At least in the end, it'll hurt us less and may be we'll feel a little happy as well.

Through my childhood, my parents seem to lived with "if you're angry then you're the bad guy". So, I always feel guilty after expressing my anger even if the person I'm mad at is obviously at fault. Now, I hate expressing my feelings because nothing will change.

Never replace this dude with plant on his head to someone else 😢💕

Fear of abandonment: only came to terms with it around 10 years ago. Thanks to the life circumstances. 🙏🙏🙏

My mom would always get mad at my younger sister and me when I was younger and she would get in her car and drive away. Leaving me to believe that she wouldn’t ever come back to me. Turns out she just drove to the next street and waited until she wasn’t mad anymore. 🤷‍♀️

To all the genuine and kind, true companions out there that I had growing up. I'm deeply deeply sorry for pushing you away. Everyone looked the same to me through fear and being wounded over and over again.
