Hey Morgan - Nice vent. I like it.

Your mom and dad will probably never give a straight answer and will probably always act crazy especially when you talk about PTSD.

One, your mom doesn't want to face the guilt of having abused you so she'll do some fancy psychological foot work around that. Hence, wanting to call it anxiety rather than PTSD. Right what's the difference. If you called it anxiety 'cause you beat the shit out of me mom, she'd want to call it x, y and z.

Two, your dad, who should have stopped the abuse, doesn't want to face up to being a abuse enabler and he'll do some fancy psychological foot work around that.

Don't expect them to act rational about how they ****ed you up. They won't.
