We learned , I think sometime last year, how much OCD had been playing a role in keeping our system hidden from us and others. How we, well one part more so than others, used OCD to manage triggers and how much it had shrunk our life. Excited to hear another system talk about this. Thank you! - Sam

2:36 just clocked us so hard at 1:25am unable to rest. It really do be common. Right right same same. 😭 I know every system is unique but we really be the same down to the OCD and food/ body issues. This just in every system is just in desperate need of controlling the body and repressing memories 😭. P.s it's lenoreasourous hey girl I'm so proud of you for making this video frfr this is dope. It's the way religious trauma is always tied in with d.i.d. religion isn't inherently bad, but abusers abuse everything and anything and religion is unfortunately an easy way for them to do that 😭😭. Sorry if this is updating you every time I edit but if I don't write as watch I won't remember anything to type 😵💫

Wow! How incredibly brave of the girl from church to testify against him after finding out you exist. She so wanted to keep you safe, and now you are sharing your story in the hopes of helping others. Y'all are both so incredible for sharing such hard, dark moments in order to shed light on what a monster really looks like. Monsters aren't made up they are the men in powerful positions at home, church, school, etc, preying on the vulnerable.

thank you for being trans parent and sharing your story. :) 4:10 i am just an uneducated person in this regard, however I think I remember reading that all trauma is experienced at 100% by the individual and trauma severity between individuals should not be compared. comparing, might be a sign of another complex trauma but that is way outside of my realm. don't be so hard on yourself good luck 🙂👍

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us. You inspire others to find the courage and strength to discover their own truth and tell their story. I'm so sorry that you went through this. Having a parent with NPD caused me a lot of pain and trauma, I cannot imagine how much more intense that had to be for you in this situation. It's especially awful that this was done by someone who used religion to paint themselves as a good person to others. I grew up with a lot of religious trauma and learning how to love and find God again was extremely difficult. I was constantly triggered because of all the lies my parent filled my head with as a means to keep me in her control. People will use ANYTHING to manipulate and control other people. It's truly despicable and disgusting. I hope that you are able to continue healing and finding your voice to scream your truth to the world. You have such a beautiful family. Rooting for you!!!!!!

Woahhh I had no idea someone had a story really similar to mine, in terms of incorrect diagnoses. I was convinced I had a phobia of alcohol and I still am terrified of it but not because a phobia, but because it's a trigger and I have trauma 💔 Thank you for sharing your story 🩷
