    I Went To A Huge Social Event, And I Coped!

    I'm disappointed there's no "high five" smiley, or I'd give you one! Internet High Five! It's incredibly hard to get back into the social scene, I know your pain and you did great! It will get easier, and more fun.

    Sufferer New Here, Verbal/physical Abusive Childhood.

    Hello everyone. Sitting here and typing this is hard, I'm physically trembling... I imagine I'm in the right place with people who can relate. I grew up with a mother who was unreliable, unstable and generally an emotional wreck. She took her issues out on my sister and I in the form of...
