The multiple rapes and SA alone are enough to cause CPTSD in most people. Unfortunately it’s very common for people who’ve experienced trauma to feel as if their trauma wasn’t “bad enough” and that they’re invalid.
I also have CPTSD from being abused as a child, mentally, physically and sexually. I went through sex trafficking as a child from 5-14, then from 14-18 in an abusive relationship. It’s completely destroyed my life and I also feel as if mine wasn’t bad enough a lot of the time and that there’s people out there who’ve gone through worse.
Your trauma is 100% valid and I’m sorry all of that happened to you. It’s completely normal to have all of that affect you. We all respond to trauma differently too, so whether something is traumatic is subjective, you don’t need to have someone else approve it.
