Very good summing up. But trigger warning.

Hi

just watched this vid on youtube.

Two warnings. 1, She's very vocally Christian from time to time and that may not sit well with some of you if there has been abuse through religious channels. 2. I at least found it horribly accurate for my experiences, whilst not the abuse that is mentioned, it is clear after watching this very experienced woman that whatever the reasons, I was definitely very badly traumatised by my brother's attacks and my mother's failure to back up either myself or my father, right to the end.
This lecture is so concise and accurate in describing the resulting effects for me, and most likely the rest of you, that I feel it is worth watching even with the above reservations. If nothing else, it is a perfect description of C-PTSD to have other people watch so they understand you and your struggles. I defy anyone to watch this and then turn round and write it off. Choose a good time to watch it tho, it could go either way.
