nothings wrong with you... you still have emotions that you are holding from your past! It takes time to heal! You need to go and talk to someone.. talking helps.. for how hard it is.. it helps! hang in there!

I'm so sorry that your mom is gone. I agree with Shannon....there is definately nothing wrong with you. You have suffered a severe trauma and there are effects of that in many ways. It's good you are here; there is a lot of excellent support. I'm proud of you for reaching out and looking for that support!

I think most of us suffer from Post Traumatric Stress Disorder and one of the common symptoms is "startle response"". We can be startled by things that other people don't even notice and that's part of the legacy the abuser leaves us with. It will get better and you are not sick - you are reacting to what happened to you.
