I am proud of you, too. Thank you for your comment. I see you, and I recognize you.

We are not alone (unfortunately). Researchers have apparently caught sight of us. Due to the stigma around it, survivors of MDSA (Mother-Daughter sexual abuse) are using Reddit to share their stories. And the actress Jennette McCurdy (who I had never heard of before) recently published her memoir about her experience with MDSA. I haven't been able to read the book, but I'm glad someone with her sort of visibility is telling our story. She is incredibly brave.

I was also diagnosed with CPTSD. At its most extreme, I couldn't leave the house or sleep. But time helps the most. The nightmares were terrible, but they are less frequent now. I promise it gets better. Something that helped with the sexual stimulation was watching the Tantric Sex episode of the series Unwell (it's on Netflix). A tantric sex guru talks about healing from sexual abuse, and it was the first time I felt some acceptance for that aspect of my experience. The feelings come and go. There was a time I thought that they were gone completely, but I suspect they will always be with me to some degree. And in that case, all that is required of me (and perhaps of you, too) is acceptance.

The rage is still with me. What has helped there is 1) not drinking and 2) strength training. Also, remembering times when I had control (when I frightened my mother with my insight, for example) and replaying/strengthening those memories has helped with the feeling of helplessness (the foundation of the rage, I think).

I hope something that I mentioned ^ above helps. We are warriors. A strange kind of family. Whatever healing looks like for you, I wish you the best of luck.

You might want to take a look at r/RaisedByNarcissists and r/CPTSD if you haven’t already. They have some good resources and advice about this.

I also highly recommend Lindsay Gibson's book Adult children of Emotionally Immature Parents.

I'm sorry you had to experience this.

> "Sadism goes beyond being a killjoy and takes actual pleasure in inflicting pain, humiliation, or forced restraint on a living being. Sadism is also a way of claiming the role as the most powerful and important person in the relationship. Sadistic Emotionally Immature parents enjoy making their child suffer, whether by physical or psychological means. Physical abuse is obviously sadistic, but hidden sadism is often expressed in “teasing” and “joking around.”"

Wondering if it would be possible to get you something like this https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Line-4180-Door-Lock-Out-Device/dp/B00BOZBDK6/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=Room+Lock&qid=1654123529&sr=8-5 for your door?

Also, would you like help with your CV/resume/job search? I’m not the most familiar with how the process works in your country, but my degree is in English so I’m happy to help if you want someone to look over any letters or anything.
