Wings describes my situation, too. My mom was killed when I was one yr. old, and I lived with different sets of relatives, and one aunt was a narcissicist sadist during my most formative years. But I made a good life for myself despite it, on the surface. I hope I won't trigger anyone here, as I've been in therapy a few years and accustomed to talking about abuse. I mostly plan to read about how others heal. Therapy has really changed me for the better. i went through a long period of negative transference with my therapist, but has turned to positive through her patience and modern techniques based on Winnicott, Balint, etc. I have hope for me now! I've made major steps this year, to trusting and letting my inner kid be present with my therapist, without fear.

Hi. I'm Nibs.

Thank you for the warm words of welcome. I do know what happened to me was abuse, but I am a survivor, little by little. This is my first foray into the forum, I will be spending much time reading in the days to come, hoping here I can find the support I have been searching for in life.

Nibs.

I am new here and as Wings said I am a little nervous and embarrassed. And I wonder if my experiences even qualify me to be here. Thanks
