She probably does have a lot of trauma. My grandpa was drafted into the Vietnam war when my grandma was pregnant with her. When my grandpa came back he had PTSD and was doing a lot of drugs, so he was pretty absent, but he still had 3 other children with my grandma afterwards. Since my grandpa was absent and spending a lot of money on drugs, my grandma had to spend most of her time working, so my mom from a young age was made to raise her younger siblings. I have heard her complain many times that she never really got to have a childhood and I think that is why she can be neglectful to my sister and I since her mom couldn't be there for her.
My family has hated the US government for generations. I'm just finishing up college rn and then I'm going to work on saving up so I can get out, although I haven't decided where yet. I'm definitely going to try my best keep that I have autism hidden from the government, although I've already changed my legal name and sex, so they do know that I'm trans.
Thank you ❤️🫂

Thanks for your reply. I agree with you about labels. It'd just be nice to know what's going on with me so I can deal with it more effectively.
I always take time everyday to just think about and process stuff, which is where I think my self awareness comes from. When it comes to alexithymia, I have difficulties with identifying the emotions of strangers, but when it comes to people I know well I do just fine I think. I also feel I can identify and describe my own feelings well. So I don't think I have much if any alexithymia.
Thanks ♥️♥️♥️
It has really helped to get this off my chest and to hear that my experience is not invalid. I feel like I can start moving forward with trying to heal
