Well, hey...nice to meet you, sorry you have reason to be here.
...I seem to be spending my adulthood trying to get over my childhood, which is annoying.

Sorry you have reason, too, but glad you found us. Welcome.

Welcome:-) My story is a little similar---rage-out dad, mom had a booze issue for a bit, my older sister was abusive to boot--- I'm spending middle age surviving my childhood all over again. (Ugh!)

Share what you feel you can and as you can, no pressure here. We understand.

Welcome, no matter how you found us I hope you will keep coming back and sharing as you feel drawn to. This is a great group of people who know some stuff. Glad your you here.

Welcome to the site and to the board. We're all need friends. And support. If you need someone to talk to I'm here, you can PM me.

Welcome Max,

We are all here for many reasons, I can understand yours from similar references in mine. Sit down get comfortable and we will listen as you are able to let it out. You also have a journal at your disposal on the site. Use it. It will help you sort out the feelings and even just vent should somethings really pull on your trigger strings. That's the way I view them..as strings tied to past emotions when a new instance resembles what I felt then. Those strings can pull you into the past by way of flashbacks complete with all the fears and anxiety of that moment...just now in this one. Recognition of that helps you calm again and move on.
You can set the entries in the journal to your own level of privacy, though some feed back may help you sort through the processes.
Gentle hugs,
Jewells.

welcome. though it sucks you are here for many of the same reasons the rest of us are, it is a good sign you found this place. take the time you need to share what you want. there is no time limit or agenda when it comes to healing.

i too am re-surviving my childhood. this group has helped me so much. they accept my "crazy" cause they get it. great people. i could rave about them on and on.

anyway. its not good you would need a place like this, but since you do that is one of the best.

Welcome. Sorry you have reason to be here, but happy for you that you've found this place of healing, support and wisdom, and happy for us that we have a new companion on the way.

The only thing you need to know is if you are going to post something that may be triggering to others you flag it with a "Trigger warning" or "TW" so people don't feel ambushed.
