Finally joining this community!

[Chickadee123]

Hello! I'm a single mom in my late 30's. I heard about this community several years ago, but I'm finally joining now. My father is a likely NPD. My 3 siblings and I all have PTSD. I married someone similar to my dad, with behavior in line with NPD and Antisocial PD. I divorced him over 5 years ago.

I've been doing therapy and other healing work for several years now--DBT, EMDR, trauma therapy, mindfulness, yoga, etc. I haven't had a long-term relationship since my divorce, and the short-term dating I have attempted has been traumatic as well. I took a long break from dating and felt MUCH better as a single person, but part of me is wanting a long-term romantic relationship that's healthy and fulfilling. So I'm joining this community, finally, for support with struggles related to moving on and finding healthy relationships.

Cheers, everyone!
