I know that a lot of people in this forum were sexually abused, or veterans of one war or another. I can understand the pain in both of those senarios. But what about trauma which stems from emotional abuse? Alright, my brothers (5 and 7 years older) did throw me off the garage roof when I was two and later in childhood they force fed me sand so I guess that qualifies as physical abuse, but there was so much emotional and mental control going on that I can't help but think that left some major scarring.
I know that in Europe they are far more advanced in their fight against bullying. Here in the states we call it abuse. There are many about abusive parents and how people survived, but are there any resources on sibling abuse? It's not just a rivalry. Kids can be terrible to one another. Not only siblings but also classmates at school. So, when we "grow up" what happens to the person that was bullied? Do we ever really "grow up"? Or are we stuck with our scars trying to heal?

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
I think some of us bullied in school of by siblings growing up may have been more suceptible to PTSD now as well.
I think this goes on into adulthood because as in adulthood , in highschool and in middle or grade school they have not really gotten very good conequences for the bullying.
I am trying right now to make bullying especially if the bulling is directed at a student with deppresion a hate crime with stiffer punishment in my state.i have been e mailing wrighting and calling all my elected officials and presenting my case and a few others I have found on the internet from school on into adulthood that had minor to dire or deadly concequnces for the person being bullied.Also ones where being bullied you get pused to far one day.Hopefully someone will listen sometime so we can stop this.
I know I can't take it anymore, I have been reduced to haveing escorts to even get my mail now I hide in my house due to the neighors bullying.I only wish more people would understand that more than sticks and stones hurt.Some emotional wounds never heal.
I think your and mine history are mostly down the same line. For many I thought I was doing ok, I was getting past things, but the fact was I was searching out people in my life that continued the same things that had scared me so bad as a child.
Until the point where I was nearly killed. since then I have gotten away from those type of people, but being isolated is no answer either.
So I guess I am saying, it is like everything else in life, one step at a time. I am here to help if I can.
