@drdenizpsyd: This isn’t about a one-time event but rather a repeated pattern, where mistreatment or hurtful actions are followed by an unspoken rule: “Move on, don’t talk about it.” This approach does more than brush off the incident; it teaches you that your pain doesn’t matter. It normalizes dysfunction, creating an environment with the unspoken agreement to not discuss hurtful events and feelings. Over time, this cycle silences you, making you doubt your own emotions, and subtly trains you to question the validity of your experiences. Those who repeatedly act like nothing happened after being emotionally or physically harmful are interested in preserving the status quo. 👉For children growing up in these families, it can leave them more vulnerable to other types of abuse where they’re not only cutoff from adult protection, and aware that it’s not safe to bring difficult topics to the adults around them. Healing often begins with seeing this pattern & validating your own feelings and experience, recognizing that your pain is real, even if others refuse to acknowledge it. Let me know if you relate to this 💛 #childhoodtrauma #gaslighting #narcissisticparent #toxicfamily #dysfunctionalfamily #narcissticabuserecovery #cptsd #yourvoicematters #emotionallyimmatureparents #emotionalabuse #signsofemotionalabuse

Rose :
My fiance is doing this to me. At this point, I’m honestly ready to call off the wedding. I have come to the conclusion that he is emotionally abusive

Or when you bring up something they did and they go "what about what YOU did?" 🙄

When they rage at you, and then suddenly decide it’s all out of their system, and they expect you to be instantly happy and excited (instead of ashamed of making them mad and afraid to do it again)

“You always hold on to the past” was always a common response to me when I wanted accountability (before learning that wasn’t possible).

Lived this. Healed from this and moved on from the dysfunction. I’m the happiest and mentally healthiest I’ve ever been!

Pain 2 Purpose :
Follow your gut feeling it is always right. Stay away from people like this. Best way is ZERO CONTACT. They will never change.

Or if you try to speak of the abuse, no one wants to hear it or get involved & you become the problem in the family.

I've been living like this my whole life, and I'm learning how to protect myself. I hold on to my truth and protect my reality. I'm tired of carrying the pain, I want to stick up for myself

And then you grow up into an adult who doesn’t know how to advocate for yourself, because you’ve been conditioned to believe that you’re “overreacting”.

Social groups too. I would rather have no family and no friends than go through this Which is why I am no contact with my family and all my friends.

Your pain is valid, even if it was ignored. Healing starts with acknowledgment.
