Hi Kay, welcome to the forum.
Kay,
You can answer this for yourself actually, from your statement above, being sexually, physically and mentally abused by my mother for 15 years.
Two questions:
1. Did you experience, witness, or was confronted with an event/s that involved actual or threatened death, serious injury or a threat to the physical integrity of yourself or others?
2. Did your response involve intense fear, helplessness, or horror? Note: In children, this may be expressed instead by disorganized or agitated behavior.
From your statement, I would say you would answer yes to these both.
What is your opinion on that? |
