Steve J,

The oldest of five kids brought up in Glasgow in the fifties and sixties, I too am a survivor of physical abuse. I’m convinced my dad suffered from an undiagnosed personality disorder. He committed suicide at 41, I was 19 at the time. Nineteen years of physical abuse takes a lifetime to heal.

Welcome to the board.

((( HUGS ))) - I know how you are feeling as I have been there and with that I wanted to let you know that there is HOPE and PEACE waiting for you on the outer side of recovery.
