Hi golf898-It sounds like it has been a long journey for you but congratulations on making it to the other side! I'm really so happy for you. Good for you for reaching out for help and working hard at your own recovery. You are an inspiration. and although you can't get those 13 years back, maybe your experience with depression has made you a deeper more empathetic person? maybe your pain could even be turned into purpose? and just think how wonderful life can be for you from now on. So don't let the neglect you suffered as an innocent child win one more day. Here's to better times ahead and may life bring you the peace and happiness you deserve. Welcome to PC.
