I am older than most of you here in my sixties and have done a lot of work on myself. And a lot of therapy. I am the youngest of 4 in our family and you typical dysfunctional mess. Alcoholic family and abussive in every way.My mother who is 90 years old is still fighting with a man and kicks him out periodically but she is afraid to be alone so takes him back. I never married or had children cause I kknew I was too emotionally ill to do either. I have had two strokes and have all kinds of health problems due to the worseneing dysfunction in our family. I am angry all the time and feel nothing but rage with age. The worst of it is how it affects your health when you get older. I just recently found this site and am interested in hearing about others. I was a hairdresser for 39 years and beleive me have been their shrink for all of those years. They told me things they wouldt tell their shrink....just wish I would have gotten the bucks they got...lol. So this is my first post and would love to hear from others. For you younger ones out there beleive me you can handle more than you realize. Take care.
