Hi and Welcome! I am still learning that it is going to take a long time to work through the years and years of abuse I endured.
For me, it has meant alot of grieving. grieving for the childhood I never had.. grieving for the loss of a family I believed I had that was all really phony..
I grieved for the lost little girl I was and the teenager I never got to be.

And for me, grieving like that has helped me feel more complete because I know I let go of those empty places in my life.I don't know if that makes any sense really.But I do feel more whole having accepted the losses abuse caused in my life.

I don't know.. so far therapy has been a good thing for me even though I never thought I needed therapy.. I thought I was dealing pretty good.

I hope you find the support and understanding here that you need. Wishing you the best...Faith
