my sister minimizes it. she has the pull yourself up by the bootstraps mentality. my dad knows cause he is the one who caused it and i wrote him a big letter disowning him for the abuse. my coworkers know because there was a good couple years at work where i was really unstable and i wanted them to know there was an explanation for it. they are very supportive. i am really fortunate to have such caring and understanding coworkers. i just had a major trigger at work last week and everyone stepped up to the plate to support me and covered my shift so i could go home and take care of myself.
