I'm glad that, as an adult, you still have parents who are supportive. There are a few people who have judged me over time because my parents did not become friends with me...... even when I was/am an adult. I am grateful that I was able to analyse their inabilities and did not perpetuate any of the sub optimal cycle as I probably would have done had I been less aware Also doctors in this forest did not take the time to listen... and still do not ... ...... so I have had to analyse all this without any help from them or from a therapist Papa bear, my husband, and I have a good relationship I have broken the cycle of abuse and dysfunction.

Hugs and respect to all
