Does anyone have any tips for healing ‘injustice’ trauma?

Hi all,

Firstly I hope whoever is reading this is having a nice path to healing🤍. I wanted to come on here and ask if anyone has any tips for ‘injustice’ trauma specifically. I was extremely ignored emotionally growing up- yet I was expected to be there for my mother and father constantly emotionally, and was a mediator for their marriage that fell apart right in front of my eyes. And I had to listen to all the gruesome details of that as a small child, and comfort my mother (but not just in a normal ‘empathetic’ way, to an EXTREME level for a small child who was not being emotionally cared for in turn.) Being in this role so young and pouring out so much to the two people who were SUPPOSED to pour back into me- has caused me great damage. I am still fairly young, still living at home (they are now divorced), but neither have them truly understand the damage they have done throughout my life, and every conversation I try to have ends up being about them. It is very hard. It’s heartbreaking, honestly. I just wanted to ask if anyone has been through anything similar and has some advice for a slow, rocky road to healing.

Much love🤍
