					<description><![CDATA[Thank you so much for such an elaborate explanation and verÿ honest illustrations of how people get trapped in trauma bonding.

					<description><![CDATA[This post is well written and addresses what I experienced with my in-laws and parents so well. We did not receive gifts as bribes. They seemed to hold things over our heads, like “this will be yours one day” to try to keep us in the web. Great job!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you so much for this. I feel so seen. Especially the constant self-doubt and wondering if the abuse is/was as bad as it seems. I moved away from both sides of my family to get away from them and the flying monkeys. The trauma bond still hits and makes me wish I had healthy available parents. Working on building a healthy support network of friends and people I trust.]]></description>

Yes. As far as your deep self is aware, this person was your parent.
It&#039;s utterly disgusting for adults to harm children. Avoid such people. I have gone no contact with my family of origin and my deep self is very fine with that. The peace is priceless!]]></description>

Thanks for your feedback.  Since I wrote in August, I did leave and also started therapy.  I also returned to the group and feel different about some things. Within the group a few things are different as well as the moderator.  I believe I have grown, too. Grey rocking helps me with my boundaries and expectations. Therapy is what helped balance the load of expectations. I&#039;ll see how it goes .]]></description>
