I live alone, but have alot of cats who are like my family. My dream is to start some kind of rescue organization so that I can save more cats. I am an avid gardener and landscaper which takes all my time in the spring and summer. I love to read and do interior home improvements in the winter. My job is menial for my level of intelligence and skill, but it affords me the time to pursue my personal interests.

I am the youngest girl and the fifth of seven kids. My father was a workaholic and my mother, though never having had a drink in her life, had the personality of an alcoholic. I suffered from neglect and emotional abuse from my parents as well as my older siblings. I am in my 40's and as I have not totally distanced myself from my family, the patterns of behavior still continue. I was treated as though I do not matter and my needs have never and still are not, acknowledged by family members.
Lost two pets over the past year. I orinally joined the "family issues" community since that is my current struggle. Another member here inspired me to join this community too. Please, anyone who is experiencing grief over the loss of a beloved pet, please feel free to message me.
Often wrestled with depressive feelings since a young child. Was a psychology major in college and learned that there is a physiological cause to many types of depression. I want to learn and understand the causes of different types of depression and talk with others who have experienced similar types of psychological, as opposed to physiological depression, as I believe is the type of depression that I have.
I am only recently learning that the alcoholic personalities of both my parents, and the resultant patterns of interaction in my large family of birth, are behind my co-dependent characteristics. I started reading a book about ACA's and was struck by the part where it says that anyone can admit to the betrayal at the hands of her family, but it requires active recovery and fellowship with others to come to terms with the self-betrayal. I am looking forward to attending meetings in my area.
