    • About Me

      I grew up in a dysfunctional family. I am the oldest child of an alchoholic father and have 2 younger siblings. I have been on my own since I was 8 or 9 emotionally but 18 phsyically. My parent's just recently divorced, I however am still the go to person for all of them when there is a problem or they need help. I wish I could leave all of them to drown in their own sinking boats however the is a slight problem with that my bf and I are the only continuity in the lifes of our nieces and nephews. I feel extreme guilt for "being selfish" yet I want to cut out the toxic things in my life. It is a tough situation with no real solution that allows me to live with myself and satisfies my conscience.

    • Close Family Issues

      I'm 32 yr old of divorced parent's (recent) with 2 younger siblings. My dad was/is an alcoholic. I seem to be the family caretaker and I don't know if I can continue doing it. I want to run as far away as possible but my sister's 3 kids need me, so I can't. I feel like I am losing my mind. I suffer from migraines.

    • Close Migraine Headaches

      I was diagnosed with migraines at 12 yrs old. I am 32 now and just in the last few years started seeing a nuerologist again. I have tried many protocols and am learning my triggers and trying to find a regime that works for me.
