Hi IDM, without a shadow of a doubt.......you are NOT a whiner!!!
Abuse is abuse, and NO abuse is ever OK........it matters, the effects of it matter, and you matter!!!
And although other people on here may have had a harder time.........there shouldn't be any "competitions" here or anywhere else regarding abuse?? Everyone deserves the support they need, whatever that is
So it really is good that you've managed to put out there, and in therapy what happened to you. Just a bit less of the discrediting it and the effects it may have had on you, hey?? You deserve support!!
And if you want to talk a bit more about what happened.......the effects on you..........hey we're/I'm definitely here for you!!!
