And I'm very nervous.

From 0 - 6 years I was stuck in an abusive alcohol fuelled environment. My Dad was the abuser, mentally, emotionally and physically (not sexually).

From 9 - 18 years I was stuck in a repeated environment at the hands of my Step-Dad.

From nursery to college I was bullied.

At 18 I left home (and left my baby brother to deal with it .. he was 8 years younger...still have massive guilt over this).

From 18 - 34 years I put up with the abuse from my Step-Dad still, even though I did not live with him any more.

At 22 I was raped by a stranger. (for future reference I call it the incident)

That's the basics. I'm open to answering any questions and would love some support of some kind. I'm in T now and its all starting to spill out, so I have decided to start talking and thought you peeps might be able to coach/support me through the T and I might make a new friend or get a hug to keep me going.!
