Greendoor,
  I am sorry for what you have gone through. This does not sound like normal behavior to me (regarding parents) at all!
  Be well!

Helliepig,
  Thank you!  I never really considered some of my physical challenges to my trauma.  I will do some research.  I really appreciate your post and for sharing.

I just wanted to mention that I started having swallowing difficulties and choking when I experienced many stressors and found out that I have GERD, a sliding hiatal hernia and a spastic esophagus.  With treatment, these improved, but stress and triggers still exacerbate these.
  Be well and I hope you are able to get this figured out.

Thank you for the warm welcome and the information!
I am currently seeing a Dr., and receiving EMDR treatment.  I know it is working no matter how intense it is.  I'm very grateful to have found a Dr. who specializes in both C-PTSD and EMDR.  I look forward to discovering who I am...and living a "normal" life.
  Thank you all for being here!

New here...not quite sure where I fit...both child and adult.
  I really like all of the information and it is nice to be among others who understand...although it makes me sad that others are suffering.
