What I have come to realize is that the problem is more with the people I had in my life, mainly family members. They have this unspoken judgement and narcissistic traits that had me confused and questioning “why do I feel this way”, all the time!! When you get rid of anyone that makes you confused or feel bad consistently, you will feel like a different person

As I matured I began to believe this was negative and started to repress my anger. I would sometimes fly off the handle and be straddles with guilt for hurting my loved ones. Not since being diagnosed with CPTSD have I began to get a glimpse on what this is all about. I feel like even with all my therapy, self help and spiritual practice I gain I keep failing. I’m weary. When I’m in the midst of this explosive rage I feel like I can’t help myself. After I’m riddles with guilt and self condemnation. I know better, I’m no longer a victim so why can’t I get it right. I’m learning tools but often find myself still messing up. I’m tired. I feel like I’m no good for my family. I always apologize but that doesn’t stop the wound I already caused. I’m very honest and transparent in appropriate ways. My children no about my trauma, my crazy life. They know about my CPTSD and other challenges but I still feel like shit when I mess up. I’m doing EVERYTHING I know to get better. I’m almost 50 will I ever be “right’
