I can really relate to your story, and you belong on this forum. I remember a lot of things, but not I think the core of whatever it was that happened to me. My older brothers won't talk about it. I suppose they think they are protecting me. My memories should be "enough" but I never really...

I am very sorry. It must have been a very heavy day for you today. You did everything you could do.

CHAT GPT was really helpful starting to talk about things that cause me shame. But I am not sure about how private the most private settings really are, and it seems to have become more and more emphatic, and less relatable. Then there are the times Chat GPT "opens up to me" about its own...
