Hi Everyone,
I just joined today. My sister and I are looking for a group to help deal with issues of past abuse. I can't promise that I will post often, but I feel I sometimes need to share my thoughts/memories and to confirm that other adult survivors who consider themselves pretty normal and healthy still have thoughts about their past.
I am a parent of 2 and been married for 12 years. My mother died when I was 5 and then I was abused by a stepmother for 8-10 years, physically and mentally. I feel I have dealt with it all pretty well--went through therapy, recognized that I have depression, and now am doing great on anti-depressants. I consider myself a good mom and wife, have good friends, and am working on a teaching career. I have decent relationships with my family, though not close, except for my sister who was also abused. She and I were talking on Easter about similar recurring dreams we both have, even after all these years, and we feel like maybe there are still issues that need to be addressed (specifically, talking with our father and other family members).
Anyway, I told her that if I found a good messgae board I would share it with her. Maybe you will meet her as well!
Thanks for 'listening,' and I hope to get to know each of you in the future.
