Good luck with that. If you do find a way, can you let me know? Been trying to work that one out for a long time.

I have been so tempted to just say "Hi Mum and Dad. I have ptsd. I have it because you felt that keeping the family together was more important than my safety and well-being".

I just don't think I can cope with handing so much guilt over to them. I see that they did what they thought was best at the time, and they didn't know half of what went on, but all the same, they knew it was bad enough that they should have asked for help.

If you are like me, then you've probably been beating yourself up and worrying about this for a while too. Sucks doesn't it! My family is pretty stable these days, and me speaking out would be so destructive.

I wish you luck with dealing with your family. I'll let you know if I find a way to deal with mine.
