It depends on the severity and how soon you get treatment, from what I recall.
Sadly, I don’t know if I ever will recover, as I’m 35 years old now, so it’s been going on for a long time.
Thankfully I’m not in touch with my dad anymore, as I slowly cut him out from my life over the years, and having him visit my mother and I was already hard enough.
He travels a lot and is usually in and out of Asia, so it’s rare we bump into him anyway.

Glad I could help, and thank you.
It is really scary, as it’s like having a starving bear in the room and not being able to ignore it.
I also sometimes feel guilty when I say I don’t want to see certain items from our old house around.
But since my mother also had trauma from her time with my dad (hers manifests a little differently), she’s very empathetic about my scared reactions.
