Hi MayaMuffin
I’m also new here ,posted in the newbie forum a couple of days ago .. Just read your story and it sounds similar to mine . I left my relationship years ago while I was pregnant and he chose to never have contact with his child. Even now years later I’m still struggling with things , flashbacks , anger issues , triggered by little things at times and I can’t trust anyone . I do have a partner who I’ve been with for a while but due to my past we have had some major problems,and we’re going through some stuff right now due to getting some news (detail removed by moderator) that my ex had passed away . It caused me to have a major meltdown due to being triggered and the memories rushing back and I took it out on my partner which didn’t end well. I just want to be able to get on with my life but the past just keeps coming back to haunt me …

Thank you both for your replies , it means so much . I started seeking help a couple of years ago doing 1-1’s and then group therapy and things helped for a while until I’d get triggered and regress back . The problem is when I get triggered I can’t control myself and my partner suffers as a result . Due to getting triggered after I was told my ex had died I didn’t handle it well at all and it resulted in my partner leaving me as it went to far. Now I’m trying to deal with that as well as the unwelcome memories from my past …
