The Wounds We Cannot See (2017) | PTSD Documentary Movie

How she gets emotional whenever someone touches her with empathy, is so heartbreaking. It’s that little child crying in the crib looking out the door, longing to be held…. I’m so heartbroken for her but at the same time I know she’s strong and I wish her all the best 💖🙏

Nancy Ross is a veteran and i thank her for her service.

I once read the lines: Insanity is a sane reaction to an insane world.

Trauma needs to be addressed: processed, worked through and healed from. This is the only way.

You don't always need to be adopted. Sometime your natural parents and family can be just as cold.

They have proven trauma can begin in the womb, what a rejected life this poor woman has led. You can only get rejected so many times before you give up, so I don't blame her. She is a survivor. God bless her.

Nancy, our lives are very similar. I was adopted by the same exact type of family. My mother sexually abused me for the first 8 years of my life. She tried to drown me twice. She is a Narcissist Personality Disordered person. The emotional, psychological and physical abuse gave me a similar outcome. I have D.I.D., C-PTSD, depression and addiction as well. I finally went no contact with my family and my life continues to get better. I am sober 8 years now and recovery has been amazing. I just want you to know you are not alone. I don't know if you will ever read these comments, but I send you love and light.

Nancy, thank you for your service. Thank you for being incredibly brave to share your story!

WOW! I’m not former military but your story is me in so many ways. I’m 61 yo, a mother, a grandmother. I’m alive and living my best life, whatever that means. I’m a survivor and not a victim anymore. I’m not perfect. I still mess up things. But I’m here and I don’t hurt my body nor my mind anymore. One second turned into one minute turned into one hour and so on at a time. ❤❤❤

This was so emotionally raw. Nancy is a Strong, Wise Amazing woman.

Thank you, fairy-creature-lady-girl. For sharing your story. Sorry your heart had been so badly broken before. 💔 I really am sorry.

Nancy, Sweet Soul, thank You for sharing, I needed this. You may have just saved My life. So much trauma. You know You aren't stupid. My (huge, Christian -"Preachers" & all)family turned on Me when I spoke up. They asked the Courts to keep Me. They let my stepbrother abuse Me, then I was having "unclean thoughts", he denied it, and they told Me*, "shame on you". Wow. I realized at 11 yrs old that I only would ever have Me in this world. But I also have other survivors like You ❤️‍🔥. I don't talk to them anymore. And they shunned Me with every new bad thing my "mother" told them...lies and half-truths is what I get from them so I don't bother. They abandoned Me the day I told them as a little girl, scared...so alone. 🙏Praying for Us🥰✝️🕊️

I was unwanted by biological family and often wished I had been adopted. I have the same issues as this lady, I was made a ward of the state, my father was sniper in WW2 and alcoholic and physically abusive . He told at nine years old, that my mother hasn't been a wife to him since I was born. I was sent to God awful foster homes, one forster mother would make me drink beer with her, until I was sick . Later I was send to live for four years in a Catholic children's home, it was like military school. Later one bad relationship after another. I could write a book. Thank you for exposing this .

Nancy, you absolutely are a miracle as well as a brave woman ❤

My God, what a life this woman has had. I pray she finds the peace and solace she deserves after enduring so much. This movie was made in 2017. I wonder how she's doing now. I hope she's doing well.

I couldn't keep my eyes off her beautiful hair. What a touching testimony she has; a lot of her story resonated. I cried my eyes out if I could give her a big hug, I would. Hope she is doing well,

Big hearts ♥️ for Nancy. You are a miracle. Love from India

I won't go into my life and all the horrors that I survived since childhood, but I can tell you that I am almost sixty and suffer with CPTSD, night terrors of old memories, insomnia, crying spells, panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety, GAD, isolation, anger and depression. The things people do to us in this life change us and we are never the same. I commend this lady for opening up about her life and pain. She is a true survivor. It takes one to know one. :face-red-heart-shape:

I am with you. Very kindred spirit. I love you. Keep strong. I have cptsd, was homeless many years, addict alcholic, divorced and also have BPD. Life can be brighter. We can survive. I had much help. Bless you

Thank you for shareing your story miraclemomma......your a strong woman!!! Your NONE of those other things!!! You are loved
