Hi Word,
The impact of abuse never really goes away, does it. I've heard some people ask why are people talking about stuff that happened 30 years ago. Well, we never forget. The emotional damage makes you feel like it happened yesterday. It's like PTSD. You think about it or talk about it and your pulse quickens and it all floods back. I think it creates an outlook of the world that is with us our entire lives. You end up never really trusting anyone.
I hope your new therapist is a good one. I pray they are helpful.
Wishing you the best!!
