    Sufferer From Another Dysfunctional Family

    Hello all and TY for allowing me to join. I am in my mid-50's and dealing now with the things we neither had knowledge for nor the clarity in those long past times. It is only now after several years of counseling that I have begun to see the enormous unfairness brought on to me in my...
