Take care and try to go easy on yourself. *hugs*

I can remember some of the abuse, but it's the neglect that really F's me up. I do remember pieces when I was older, but that's about all. I question every day if I 'deserve' therapy based on my past. The flashbacks I have are brutal, too, because they have almost no context and become totally grounded in maternal transference (e.g., my therapist is leaving me, no longer cares, etc...)
