I agree wholeheartedly. From age 8 to about 15, I was at the whims of my mom. I wasn't allowed to have friends, she deemed I was talking in the phone too much and changed our number and I didn't have it for years, and a myriad of events happened. I have flashbacks and of late they've become extreme, and it's not one event. It's like a merry-go-round in my head with one event after another coming to the surface, which accumulates to my being a really big mess.
