I'm with arfie, skii, I'm sorry you've been feeling ignored, too. The reason I came here to DS PTSD in the first place was that I'd collapsed from kidney disease. Doctors were taking away all of my PTSD meds I'd taken for years to protect my kidneys from needing dialysis. My need was raw and real: I had to find a way to manage my PTSD symptoms with group support to replace managing them with PTSD meds.

I got the support for my need, and you should, too. I hope the support you got today about getting some boundary established with this abusive guy and his abusive parent. We're all patients here at DS PTSD who have our own triggers that are raw and real, so I'm glad we always are there for each other with some support and that nobody gets ignored. Keep us up to date with how it's going for you as school winds down in the weeks ahead for summer, OK?

3 long weeks left, TBH I think I'll be glad for a break, cause school has caused part of all my mental issues.

Big hug for you skii..... I'm going to write you a pm about the post........ I'm so sorry that you're going through such a terrible time..... Another hug and a blessing.....xo

If your school's not doing anything, you can call Child Protective Services. They HAVE to investigate and will act on your behalf if the school or your parents won't.

So sorry you are going through this I am in an abusive relationship I have 2 children and as we speak I am trying to get out of it they take away everything you have especially your self esteem I have read a few books on sociopaths a good one is called the sociopath next door that's what he sounds like message me if you want we can talk more wish you the best

Hi Skii. :-) Welcome to the group. I came over from Narc/Sociopath Abuse group because its a bit quiet and I'm happy that I did.. There are some awesome people here. :-) I imagine that the Depression group has a huge weight and I think it would be a great idea to join more than one. :-)

**Yes** you are experiencing verbal abuse............ So don't let him and/or his supporters try to convince you otherwise. :-) If you want, you can also join the Narc/Sociopath Abuse group. There are some interesting articles there about abusers and manipulators and discussion board posts by people that have experienced domestic abuse.

And Patti is absolutely right, approaching him directly will only harm you, especially if he is an accomplished manipulator (they are absolutely horrible in their complete lack of empathy and disregard for other people), and it is best to keep working on ignoring him and using an attorney. Dated a narcissist that did the whole smear campaign, stalking, intimidation, lies/gaslighting/manipulating attack and anything you say to him/his followers will be used against you, especially for their continued abuse.

So happy to join the group. :-))) So many supportive people.

I agree the PTSD people are down right awesome they've helped me through a significant amount of problems.

Also, tolonely Im glad I'm not the only one but also I'm so sorry for you. I'll say the same; if you need any help I'm also here :)

The other two boards that you might get opinions from are Family Issues and Healthy Relationships. If you do post over there, please do make clear that you're 16, and that this is the FATHER of your ex boyfriend saying these things to you. Those two points make a huge difference.

hi skii. i'm so glad you came here and spoke up about feeling/being left out. big high fives!!

i hope you don't feel that way now and that it helps to be here. also, i am so hoping you get help to deal with that awful man, whether from the school or protective services, something has to give. in such a way that you don't need to do anything - you don't need to speak to him, nothing - it gets handled without you needing to do a single thing.

welcome to ds ptsd, i'm glad you are here. gentle hugs, Lilly

I'll check out the other boards
Thanks patti
And thanks Lilly your awesome!

Hi @skii, welcome to the group and the response you have received in this group is very encouraging! I hope in days to come,you are ableto find strength through your personal sharing and helping those who are also hurting and having difficult times in this support group.

Are you able to notify someone (whom is in the position to help you do something about it) about this parent?? It seems to me this parent might have crossed some lines and it's affecting you which results in tremendous stress. Nobody needs to go through this kind of unnecessary stress. He needs to back off. Please let someone know about this. Meanwhile, do keep writing. We are here to journey with each other. God bless!
