i think im the reason people feel invalid
i feel like i have gotten to the point where i just dont take people seriously enough when they say that they're traumatized. because they're always like "my parents got divorced" or "my grandma died" and logically i know thats traumatic but like that sounds like a normal tuesday to me. i have been abandoned, neglected, beaten, raped, trafficked, ritualistically humiliated infront of hundreds of people. ive been literally brainwashed, raised to be a slave, stripped of any sense of identity or humanity. i have been tormented by other people for not acting normal because of these things, to the point of having my life threatened. i was so traumatized that i developed physical medical issues, which only led to more mistreatment. and i finally escaped. only to find myself in a house where screaming and violence would never stop. the police still came all the time. my cats were murdered in front of me because they were simply inconvenient. my house was burned to the ground by a discarded cigarette. i have lost everything. im so traumatized that i am not human.
i know im not meant to compare trauma but when someone tells me that they're traumatized because they're parents didnt stay together, i struggle to take it seriously at all. my parents weren't together and then not only did they fight all the time but they would take me in the middle of the night, they hid me in strangers bathrooms, left me in drug houses with strangers, sold me for money. i cant help but think "you havent ever felt pain like i have" i feel like im not even traumatized its something else. i have no soul.
