Hi everyone,
Without getting too into it, I had a grandparent in high school who was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. They miraculously survived for about a year or two, with a prognosis of one to two months. I was around 15-16 years old and saw a lot of their illness, treatment side...
This is so so helpful, thank you for sharing this perspective. I did feel powerless RE: my dad and how he treated me, and especially how he was raising my younger brother so I can see how that would translate into my dream world.
I don't have much to add other than a rollcall of "yes this happens to me, too." I actually have a very blurry memory with my own grandfather like you, but like you said, it's blurry - not enough to really make sense of it. I know that when I was younger than 4/5, my dad would take me into the...

Hey everyone, hope all are well
Im not sure if this is the right branch of forum to ask this on, but what are your most reliable ways of reminding your body that you're physically safe and in the present moment? Like "hey body, we're not in the past anymore, we're in our own apartment alone"...
Thank you, that means a lot. I'm really trying.
Also no, writing to my brother would be out of the question. I'm so determined about not putting him in the middle of all the adults he still lives with. I wouldn't want to put him in a position to either defend me and get picked on, or join the...
