Sufferer Intro

[Lorriedlc]

Hello
I'm new to this forum. Just found a title for what I've suffered all my life, at least after age 5. Complex PTSD. Reading and learning goes a long ways in stopping or arresting self condemnation. I'm now 65. Hoping this new knowledge will help derail the train wreck of my life. I was one of 12 children to abusive, narcissus and wounded parents. Went into multiple foster homes at 13. Between life's struggles, in general, and my self sabotage I have given up (suicide attempts) 4 times. So I am trying to thrive now. Not just survive.

Welcome @Lorriedic !!! I am 65 also, but have been working on this for many years... So happy you are here !!! Not happy about the circumstances... Look around the forum. A lot of information and many people who care and support. And it will get better. This is also a place of 'hope'... sending gentle welcome hugs if you accept.
