I struggle defining my childhood. I had lots of good times, but when they were bad they really tore away at me. I was always being told im lucky im a child and should worry about child things, bit being expected to have adult sensibilities and listen to everyone elses trauma. Oh, and then told that my sadness was just silly childhood stuff.
I did hurt just as much as anyone else, but nobody ever took my emotions seriously. They were too worried about themselves to see the effect anything had on me.

Adults who have childhood trauma and dissociative traits are actually angels on earth and when the lucky ones get the help that works for them, they make the most amazing mental health professionals and even if that isnât their chosen profession theyâll be regardless the most understanding, loving and gentle soul youâll meet.

Life is rough and im learning about my DID diagnosis. This is my most beautiful alter. Sheâs kind, smart and motherly
she looks after me
Love you all even if youâre a broken soul.

I was groomed at 10 years old, my parents never really had any time for me since they worked almost every day my entire life, around the time i was 15 years old i had found chat apps like discord where because of the lack of validation and attention i was parentified and i began trying to help people unprompted, trying to fix everyone's problems when i didnt need to or when they were supposed to do it themselves, that made other people dependant on me and eventually dragged me into toxic relationships where i became an object of obsession at a really young age, along the years i started to realize my inability to say no to people, so i began painfully cutting people off my life, and these parenting habits have stuck with me even in current, healthy relationships, i never had a fond childhood memory either, all that innocence was stripped away at 10 years old, so my entire childhood i spent it as an adult rather than a kid, now im extremely burnt out and i dont want to do anything anymore

This explains so much. I have repeated the pattern of choosing emotionally stunted, controlling, abusive relationships as I can see their hurt. I want to mother them to nurture the part of them that no one else sees. And I end up being minimised and abused. I seek the emotional unavailability I had from my parents and I do everything I can to make them love me, even though they are incapable of it. It's exhausting. Would love a video on how parentified children can break the cycle as adults who need to control situations by keeping vulnerability at bay.

Oh man, this hits home. After my mum attempted suicide when I was 13 I assigned myself the role of taking care of her mental and emotional wellbeing while concealing the absolute trainwreck that was my own psyche (which wasn't exactly helped by the trauma of finding my mum mid-overdose and having to call the ambulance). 20 years later and I still struggle to articulate any negative feelings because I'm hyper-mindful of how others will receive them.
I guess I'm grateful for my heightened empathy (even though it also creates a lot of problems), but overall I wouldn't recommend the experience.

We experience trauma in the womb and when we are born. We also experience trauma as a toddler, with our frustration with our parents who fail to satisfy our insatiable needs and demands. And also when we individuate from our parents around the age of 2-3 years old. And then thereâs more trauma again when weâre teenagers and we separate from our families in order to develop our own identities. Life is full of trauma. But life is more about how we respond to it, rather than what happens to us. Two people could be going through the exact same situation, and yet see things differently, thus producing strikingly different results.

I've known this feeling for a long time as I had to watch over my brother and sit in my emotions/repress negative emotions while my Dad was alive. After he passed, this just became reinforced. Thank you for putting how I've felt into words. I may not have my childhood any longer, but it's a weight off my shoulders to know I wasn't the problem.
