Somehow you need to find a way to heal from the trauma of an abusive parent and then move past it. Your life will be a lot easier and joyous if you can find a way to do this.  |
You're a lovely person, to offer this heartfelt advice, and I'm truly sorry your childhood was hellacious.
I have read a lot of books, but not for a while, so I'll look into this one, if you think it's good.
Shaz, you have no idea (or perhaps you do) how frustrating it is, to have put a lifetime of work into recovering from those early experiences (I escaped! I had adventures! My relationships are loving and safe!) only to feel suddenly back to square one.
What has it all been for, if I'm walking along a busy road on the way home today and all I can think about is jumping into the traffic?
