Hey, thanks for saying that, I appreciate it. My T keeps saying my abuse was "extreme", but that just doesn't compute for me somehow. When I wrote out my response here the other day it did strike me as - quite a lot - to see it written down like that. Perhaps I am beginning to question that maybe my situation WAS a little more than usual, or was particularly... unfortunate.

I think I am just trying to mull all of this over. I only ever see one little part of the abuse at a time. But put together it does seem to be quite a lot.
