Hello!

[Making a Map]

Hi!

I'm really happy I've found this forum.
I still can't believe I'm not alone.
It's been very hard, everything.
As I'm writing here I'm realizing I've never told about this topic to anyone who would really "get" it.
I've had a good enough therapist for some years, but I've always had the feeling I had to overexplain things for her.
I'm married to the best person I've ever met, but even with him, I think that he doesn't quite understand me.
I feel like my whole life (who I am, how I interact, all my reactions...) was/is dictated by what happened to me in the past. It's been really hard to figure everything out, to come to terms that my own family could be so cruel and, honestly, perhaps just wanted me dead.
How can that be? I still don't understand.
I still have a long way to go, but now I feel I'm not alone in the fog.

Thank you!

Making a Map - welcome to Out of the FOG! I am thankful you have found this community of people who have walked rocky paths and are here to heal, support and encourage others.

It can be profoundly isolating to be met with inexplicably cruelty from family members. I am so sorry you have endured such treatment. I am so thankful you have reached out and connected here.

In my own life, I have found I needed a place like this in addition to the other healing practices in my life. Seeing similar experiences described and learning from the insights and thoughts of others has empowered me in a unique way.

My hope is that you will join the conversations taking place on the boards and tell us a bit more of what brings you here when you are ready! Again, a warm welcome to you!
