Tw: Childhood trauma

...See more I had traumatic childhood, I was the oldest of 13 kids and I was parentified at a very young age. I was the parent to my siblings, my mother neglected us and was at the bar going out with various men. The men would come to the house and physically abuse us kids. My grandmother was the "adult" drinking all day. We got taken away by child protective services twice, I aged out but my siblings got adopted. I was happy for them. I am now thriving and recently got my masters degree in Mental health counseling. I still find myself getting triggered especially when my partner starts yelling and I go into freeze or fight mode. I am really happy now but I don't want my childhood trauma to keep interfering.
