Legend Lives On
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." This was three weeks ago. I still don’t feel I have had enough time to process the events that happened that night but I realize I have to move on. I won’t forget that night but I don’t mull over it either. That’s because I was a victim.

Narcissist Parents
Especially when one comes from a seemingly good home-dad is working, mom staying home to look after the kids, this phenomena is often overlooked. From the outside people think the parents are wonderful and supportive and it appears so on the outside. What they don’t know is what goes on behind closed doors. Some parents are complete narcissists and use so many forms to control their children. Narcissistic personality disorder is when a person demands admiration at any cost. They do not care whom they hurt and how they get it. They have a high sense of self and do not know they are doing anything wrong. Here are signs your parents were narcissists.

Lack Of A Father
About three years ago my dad was diagnosed with an incurable lung condition. Two months later, in a sneaky way, I packed my bags and left home. I am not welcome at home anymore and have not seen my dad since. Neither parent of mine accepted the fact that I have mental illness. They both treated like I was just badly behaved. I think about my dad every day and imagine the man I would be if he had not seen me like a failed lab experiment.

Introduction To PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD is a condition that results from a terrifying event, either witnessed or experienced firsthand. As it was thought only to affect people in the militaryit has in the past been called Combat Disorder. Symptoms can include anxiety, depression, nightmares, flashbacks and irrational or uncontrollable thoughts of the event. It is important to note that some people who go through a terrifying event may only have a temporary time with difficulties with coping. Through a support network and good self-care they may shake off the event. However if the symptoms worsen or do not get better and last months to even years, it is likely to develop into PTSD. PTSD in most cases affects a person’s day-to-day functioning. Here is a look at common behaviours associated with it.

Helicopter Parents
It is a natural phenomena for parents to be very invested and interested in their child’s activities. However some parents may seem overly paranoid and be toxic to their children. With parenthood comes such a huge responsibility that parents may start feeling inadequate. They may then overcompensate for these inadequacies by being helicopter parents. While all parents should take interest in their children, it should never come to the point where they take control of the child and live their own dreams through the child. As we should all understand, our parents suffered traumas from their parents and likewise their parents may have suffered as well. In short trauma bleeds through generations. This is a look at the toxic things helicopter parents put their children through.

Emotional Neglect
Emotional neglect differs widely from physical abuse and other types of abuse in that it is not always intentional. However, the damage from it leads to long term suffering and trauma. Emotional neglect is when a parent may have too high expectations for their child, not be sensitive to their child’s needs or be dismissive of their emotional needs. Most of the time the parent has suffered this same issue with their family and passes it along to their child. It can take many years of therapy to undo the damage from this. Here are eight signs that appear in adulthood that are attributed to emotional neglect as a child.
