Sufferer New Around Here

[nswinton]

Hello everybody,

I am a 25 year old woman in Canada with CPTSD from 23 years of constant abuse. My parents, boyfriends, my now-ex-husband. I have completed an intensive trauma therapy program and things are much better for me now but I still deal with my mom who has NPD and it's super devastating. I have a 4 year old little boy, a fiance and a now 1 year old puppy. I have an Honors BA in Psychology but am actually apprenticing as an auto mechanic now.

Nice to meet you all.

Welcome..!!! This is such s great site - it's already helped me feel less isolated and ppl are so nice I actually post things after beng abused all my life, living on streets as a child and mother sociopath and later married and had two children with a sociopath who is hell bent on destroying me and trying to get me to lose everything she knows is dearest to me (my children, one of which with autism) I've been unable to work for two years now (which depresses me beyond belief) and facing possible homelessness if my fed disability is denied in December (hearing stage ) - I'm trying to hang in.. so glad you are here with us - May god bless you and all those living and suffering greatly with emotional/physical trauma and PTSD.. welcome, friend.

Welcome to the Forum!
You have found an AWESOME place, with OUTSTANDING people who know how to share our stories of abuse, struggle, pain, AND survival! Here, you will find compassion, empathy, and caring, WITHOUT judgement! We have all struggled through years of abuse, and trauma, as well as the years of fighting to get better, and to LIVE without fear, and learned to believe in ourselves. It is my belief that ANYONE can be a help to others, just by sharing and taking time to offer comfort!

I think it is WAY cool that you are apprenticing to become an auto mechanic! I wish I had done that, MANY years ago! Especially now that surgical gloves are used! No ruining of our nails! :D

Congrats on your little boy, being engaged, and having a puppy! ALL WONDERFUL, and SMILE inducing!!!:tup:

I hope to see you around! There are LOTS of things to read about. Coping, encouragement, and inspiration!

Blessings to you!
