I am very worried about my colleague.
Sometimes my colleague comes to work mentally stable and other times she's someone who jumps and screams in fear at any sudden sound. She totally breaks down. I want to find out if she can't get help here.
She has opened up to me about her life and that's what forced me to seek help in your emails. She lives with her dad and stepmother, she's an only child.
Her mother died when she was 4 and her dad married her stepmother when she was 7 years old so the stepmother practicaly raised her. She says her dad dies every night and comes back to life at 4am every morning.
This started happening when she was 7,just after he married her step mother. When she noticed that once her dad falls asleep at night you will never wake him up until he wakes up on his own at a given moment time.
You could literally pinch him, pour water over him and etc but you'll never get him to wake up. His body would be cold and he wouldn't even be breathing. But when he comes back to life it will be like nothing happened.
When she noticed this about her dad her stepmother told her never to tell a soul and keep it to herself or a lot will go wrong. She noticed this when her dad fell asleep on the couch a couple of times and she tried waking him up.
Her step mother completely forbid her frk ever waking him up at night nor talking about this situation with anyone. She then noticed that something was very wrong with her stepmother when she was 10 years old.
One day she says she couldn't sleep, she woke up to go make tea as it was cold and before she could get out the door she heard someone whispering in the house. She got scared and ran back to bed and hid under the blankets.
Within a second her step mother was beside her bed, she pulled the blanket off her and asked her what she has heard or see. She said nothing and the step mother said good now keep it that way.
She says she was even scared to open her eyes to look at the mother inlaw she was talking to her while burying her face on the pillow. She says this then happened everytime she couldn't sleep.
One day she decided to sneak to where the whispering was happening and she found her step mother naked sitting on the couch talking to the same woman she sees on pictures that she is told it's her mother.
The woman was alive and looked exactly like the woman on the picture that she has of her mom. She tried running back to her room but she wasn't moving.
Her step mother then said come sit with your moms, come meet your biological mother. She says her mother looked very terrified, she looked dirty and unwell. She looked like she was given errands to run.
When my colleague tried to get closer to her mother, her mother ran and hid behind her stepmother. Her stepmother then said should you ever tell a soul about this I will do to you what I do to your parents.
Stepmother then sent the colleague back to her room. The next morning the stepmother acted like everything is fine and normal. My colleague moved out and she sees her mother standing beside her bed almost every night.
She's just there staring at her, without uttering a word. When my colleague opens her eyes she then dissappears.
What kind of help can we get her? She's already attending a trauma counseling which seems to not be working at all.
