I have experienced this. Though for me, while my childhood was traumatic I didn't realize it's affects on me until I was an adult. Now at the age of 25 I can't help but wonder if all that I'm going through stems from that childhood trauma or if it's just me. I also feel stuck, worthless, and no matter what achievements I make I still feel like I'm in the same boat I've always been in. So while I seemingly cannot offer any help because I don't have it figured out yet, you certainly are not alone in that rut feeling.
It's odd for me though, I've never felt victimized in any way. I've never been mad at my father it just was my life and I've learned from it. Became a more perspective person because of it. I've never felt sorry for myself or wanted others to feel sorry for me. So it makes me wonder why I'm struggling with what I'm struggling with. Do you ever feel the same?
