Well, I have PTSD and have not been able to escape my abusive family 100% yet and I'm 33. At least now it is reduced to only mental abuse and not the terrifying things I used to experience on a day to day basis. This person is the last I'm in contact with though, and it will all be over after I move next year. Then I'll really be able to work through it all in therapy. Now, I'm in therapy for PTSD but it's more to survive instead of move on. Part of moving on requires removing oneself from an abusive situation. Otherwise the mind does not feel safe enough to let its guard down and process.
Anyway, yes I know my situation well so I guess that's why I never bring it up.
