Share some background info and I will try and help you see how you can get out of them, or simply let them go. Carol

Can you see that as long as you hang onto the memories of the past you cannot enjoy your today, as it is unfolding? You are no longer the child in those memories. You are an adult now and completely from your parents and their inability to create a loving experience for you as a child. This had nothing to do with you being to blame for anything you witnessed. You are worthy of the great life you have created for yourself and you realize now that it is YOU who has the power to define who you truly are, NOT your parents. You are free from the past you experienced, because you did not create that past. You create from here forward. Does this help? Carol

Sorry to hear about what you have gone through :( I am sure that it has to hold your mind in some chaos until you can get some kind of help from a good counselor.I understand some of what your feeling because I was put through hell as a child, with physically abuses as well as mental.I have had depression from it, and have been in therapy for it and take medicine. I hate to take the medicine but it helps me so I just do it. Have you tried to do anything like that?

I can pray for you if you would like? I am sorry that your heart is so heavy, it makes me so sad for you. You are going to lose your boyfriend over this? Very black and white thinking, is hard to deal with when you are all alone. Why does he have to be affected by it too? It sounds like culturally you are facing many difficult issues because that you are afraid of them knowing. No one is perfect and you could not have controlled what happened to you as a child. Don’t let this destroy more of your life now, you are in control and can have a happier life as a adult now. As far as changing your brain the only thing I have heard of hypnosis which can help you to move on, but I would be careful with that since you are giving access to your mind to someone else.
I understand what your saying about a stamp on you, but how will they even know if you do not tell them?

And all the people those who have idea about it like relatives,neighbours make fun of us not infront of my parents but on my face,Thats why i dont want to let them have confident about the situation and my bf does not know anything about it,and he is so good i know if he will get to know will never ever leave me alone but i am scared for him if infuture i develop some mental disease he will be the person who will hurt most.i dont wana put him in trouble by passing his life with me because i know i have slightly develop some mental disease and it is raising further and one day i would have to end up with a fatal disease.

Trust is hard to do once someone has hurt you like that. I think those people who are making fun of you and your family are really the ones who are sick. No wonder you feel like this, they are wrong and you have not done something that they should have the right to treat you like that.
If I knew them I would tell that, and I would not allow them in my life either, they are not worthy of your friendship. Now I want to throw rotten food at them all.

You said it was in your subconscious mind?

Ok… You’ll need to do something under the radar.. so to speak.. , Is it ALOT of things or just the one that’s bothering you?

what i’d suggest is to write your thoughts down.. be as detailed or vague as you like.. once you’ll be able to understand it if you read back over it.. once you feel like you can’t write much more, keep it in your room for a few days.. if something else pops into your head, write it down.. keep it until it gets to the stage where EVERYTHING that’s been bothering you is on this page or notepad or whatever.. Then.. Burn it.. and watch it burn.. have a little celebration.. pop some bubble wrap or something equally as wild! If the feelings come back.. do it all again… eventually.. it’ll resolve itself..

Hey, that sound like a great idea to try, I might do it myself :)
