Domestic abuse and trauma, I'm looking for someone with empathy who would truly care
Hi. Every day I experience psychological and emotional abuse from my parents for many years. I look and feel like a dead body. It's really hard for me because I'm in a very difficult life situation. I couldn't find a job, and the system in the country where I live has failed me, no one has helped me. Every day I fight to survive. I'm extremely tired and traumatized. I carry many traumas and have been through a lot of hurt in my life. I have absolutely no one, no family. Is there anyone who could show me empathy, care and support? I've always been there for others, but there was never anyone for me. I wish someone could finally see me as I am, real, with my traumas and pain, and not turn away. Someone who would stay by my side, care for me and understand me. I dream of true empathy. Thank you for reading.

It sounds like we have some feelings and common, even without the necessity of having similar experiences. My early life included psychological, emotional, and physical abuse. I won't go into detail, because it can be quite triggering.
It's very true that traumatic experiences can lead to feelings of extreme isolation. Part of it is because it's difficult to talk about such experiences, and people tend to be very uncomfortable when hearing about them. That's why people so often avoid being around those who have suffered.
To put it another way, it's all too common that when we are in greatest need of support, that's when we are least likely to receive it. It's different here, because many of us here understand abuse and trauma. Many of us become "wounded healers," and allow our suffering to mold us into instruments of healing and empathy.
My time here is so limited, that I rarely engage in supportive chat, but if you would like, we can exchange messages.
I understand exactly what you're saying. Being the one who was there for everyone but neglected or dismissed when I needed care and compassion. You're definitely not alone in feeling this way.
