I think both my parents have PTSD. I have had to counsel them since I was little. I always had to be patient and calm and take care of everyone. I do this with my friends, which are usually social rejects, weirdos, geeks, nerds, goths or simply crazy. I tend to be the most stable person in the room all the time. I always had to be. I just realized this and I understand this now. I think my parents have PTSD and I think they always have. How do I fix them? I do not think any of them understand they have it, but I just realized what it was. I have suffered from self esteem my whole life, but I knew it was my job to help others. Everyone else was less stable than me and I just had to save them all. I was treated badly by everyone but they don't know what they do. They are just for the most part crazy, so I forgive them. So how do I help my parents? I finally realize what was wrong.

    Yeah, it sounds like all these people are draining the life out of you. I think you need to set some boundaries and ground rules with these people. You're not a therapist, but at least therapists get paid. You're being treated as a free therapist and it's draining the life out of you.

    Raising you was that traumatic for them?
