@santosha yes this is a tough one. I have had trauma recovery domestic violence treatment. Yes it still bothers me. People in my life have controlling behaviors. Not ok. I had cranitomy to remive abcess left temporal lobe from bacterial meningitis of my brain. It was a catastrophic illness. I went into cardiopulmonary arrest. I look at it this way. It was an opportunity for my family to learn about what happened to me. No that did not happen. Controlling behaviors continued. Unnecessary emotional distress is a seizure precipitant. You can tell someone till you are blue in the face your behavior is not ok..does not always work. Actually can reinforce the negative behavior.
