Sufferer Hello Everyone

[torturedsoul7402]

I'm not quite sure how to start.

I grew up in a dysfunctional environment. My Father was an alcoholic, my Mother a passive-aggressive narcicisst. There was the full range of abuse; physical, verbal, sexual, neglect(physical & emotional).

I'm not functioning very well right now. I've been of my meds for about a year now, due to a lapse in treatment. I see my new psych doc. Thursday. My new therapist and I are beginning to work on Mindfullness.

I'm looking forward to meeting some people on here who understand; and getting, as well as giving some much needed support.
Thank You

Welcome TS.

Welcome!

Re alcoholic father - OMG! Don't get me started. I imagine your reality was denied systematically in your formative years, which can leave your adult self grappling to know what reality actually is. That's what happened to me anyhoo.

See you soon!

Welcome!

Sounds like a horrible situation to grow up in. A lot of it resonate with my upbringing as well. I hope you will find the help and support here that you are looking for.

Hi, I'm new here too. Had alcoholic Dad as well, neglect and suffered all forms of abuse as well (though from different people from my childhood up to a few years ago).
