*hugs* Honey, people develop PTSD after traumatic events, that ranges from being in a war to being in a car accident to suffering abuse, any kind of abuse. Please do not trivialise the experience you went through - it was a trauma, and your feelings and diagnosis are as valid as anyone else's. You are not an outsider, we have all suffered. Most PTSD victims are lovely, empathetic people who know that you cannot compare pain on a scale.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Are you still living with your abuser/s? Is your mother any support?

Living with this will get easier hun. PM me if you ever need to talk.
