Ya, "I don't belong here" was my mantra too. Take it slow - you have time Uhm, the day to day degradation counts under the heading...

This thread again, except this time I'm posting here. I'm fairly sure that what I went through doesn't (mostly doesn't?) qualify as...

So first of all--I am one of those women who believe that we have to take responsibility for dressing discretely sometimes because men...

I think you have to apologize and tell her you’re there for her if she ever wants to talk, and then be patient with however long it...

Sure, it could be a reaction to the med and she didn't realize how badly it was effecting her. She may not have realized it was...

How long have you been working with her? If this is a one off, it’s worth doing the call to say all you need to, ask all the questions...

I would definitely look into trans support groups. When I transitioned (ftm) it helped me a lot. I am glad your inner circle has been...

So I came out to the inner circle today, I think it went well, all very supportive =) No not yet, I'm hoping I don't need one just yet...

It's certainly inappropriate communication in my view, and a good start for a general appraisal by you of your mother's wider behaviour...

It’s complicated, isn’t it? I’ve decided what my mum did/does isn’t sexual abuse, as I’m not convinced there was a sexual element or...

Welcome to the forum. It's a good place. Sorry that events brought you here.

So proud of you for expressing yourself the way you did. You took a leap of faith and explained really difficult things. And am so...

Hi, I relate to this very much. I've come a long ways in healing but my relationship with my family is something I still struggle with...

Even though i am an adult and live far from my parents, they make me very nervous and confuse about my life goal. The memory of...

Trauma Ts absolutely should and do treat dissociation, it’s a fact that people do it even those who’ve never had big trauma. But OSDD...
