My Survivor Story

In the links below you will find all the parts I have written so far on what I needed to do to survive the Emotional abuse of my Parents.

Part of me sharing is to put me in the centre of this story, and what I needed to do, what skills I developed to survive.

Starting with

Part 1 – the Introduction..

Why I broke my grandmothers clock, is Part 2

Trainspotting – is Part 3

From Eggshells to Empathy is Part 4

The little grown up is Part 5

Part 6 is about how I took on the rescuing role

After I read the Roald Dahl book Matilda, I realised this, Part 7 is here

Part 8 of surviving was knowing early, this piece tells how and when I realised

In Part 9 I describe how I learned to pretend, to protect myself

The 10th part is on ‘The Other parent’ – they flying monkey.

Being the Trophy child – All work, no pay is here – Part 11

How surviving meant not being angry – Part 12

When they accuse you of the very thing they are, and you have to accept it – Part 13

Hiding the treasure, is Part 14

In Part 15 I describe ‘walking small’

Feelings in Shutdown mode is Part 16

Linked to parts 12 and 13, is this one, Part 17 is about suppressing my inner brat, not just the anger.

There are over 30 parts in total, written between 2020 and 2024, as I realise what I had to do, that was normalised, but not normal, that I had to respond to from birth.
