jammerlich,
I feel a lot like you.
My whole screwed up childhood is a constant burden that I'm trying to unload. I thought I shook it off years ago. But it's like a tattoo, I feel that I'm never going get rid of it.
I'm just finishing my first year in therapy. I thought I would only have to go for a few months.( what an idiot I was.) Now therapy seems to be my new freaking lifestyle. Does anyone ever "get better" anyway?
I hate that I have to pay this price every day because of things other people did to me.
I'm angry too, it all sucks.
