Hiding the trauma when it's happening is super common. But now that I'm over with said trauma I can casually talk about it -BUT!
I constantly forget that I used to hide it to my childhood friends and now everytime we hang out I accidentally trauma dump them out of nowhere because I thought I had told them already! 🥲
Like... Based on an actual conversation:
Haha yeah, that reminds me of that time -you know!
?????
When my dad threw me off a boat!
WHAT?!
Oooooh... You didn't- Shit.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE THREW YOU OFF A BOAT?!
It wasn't that bad!!
What the literal fuck.

Long story short I desperately wanted people to see and understand their trauma because I felt like no one could see me or mine. Including myself

So deep into my recovery that shit I thought never bothered me suddenly starts to bother me because most of the serious shit is off the therapy work roster and there's time for smaller issues now

Bro real "say something that lets me know you have abusive parents without telling me you have abusive parents" moment is genuinely stating "Honestly $10k is not worth letting my parents get this involved and nitpicky on my adult life" and it being something your fiance agrees with
Like it is completely rational and fair to DENY $10k support to buy a car than play by my parent's stupid rules.
