Soooo..... I'm NOT the only one huh?
My mom and dad divorced when I was 6 months old. My mother remarried and was in a very abusive relationship for her and us children for years. I was the oldest of 7 children. My stepfather began molesting me when I was 5 yrs old. I kept it a secret until I was almost 13 after which I was placed in foster care. I lost contact with my mother and siblings for several years. I was reunited with my dad at age 14 and was also the oldest of his other 5 children. It wasnt long before my dad also began molesting me. Before I was 30 yrs old, I had been married and divorced 3 times and was raising an ADHD son as a single parent. I was reunited with my 6 siblings and my mother during my mid 20's and a few years ago lost one of my sisters to suicide. In my 30's I was diagnosed with Lupus and fibromyalgia and later several other illnesses. My son is now grown, and I am remarried once again. I have been in a relationship with Glen since my son was probably 8 or 10 yrs old. We have been married now for 8 yrs which is a record for me. I have a very close relationship with God, and my son and my husband. My life is going in a new direction now. I am in therapy for my depression. I am on zololf which helps tremendously. Even though things are going good, I still have this awful habit of picking my skin. I cant really remember when it began. But I want so bad to stop. I always thought "I was the only one". It has always been a secret shameful thing like so many other things in my life. I would love to stop this. I am trying to set a goal by Thanksgiving this year in 2012 to stop this horrible destruction I do to myself every day. Please help me.
