Title: Introducing Myself
Post by: Birdseed on February 23, 2025, 03:39:18 AM
I grew up on n a home with a father who was absent, rarely spent time with me and ignored me because he was a workaholic or he was spending time with has mistress and her family. I spent my childhood trying to get his attention. My mother was angry and depressed - she wasn't there for us either. My Dad passed away early January and the whole situation with the funeral and the drama as executor of his estate is almost too much to handle. I feel anger, grief, confusion. Then my boyfriend of 3.5 years went on his third alcoholic bender and I broke up with him blocking him from contacting me. I've come to realize I have to deal with the C-PTSD I was diagnosed with 7 years ago. I'm happy I found this site. I hope this posts correctly - it's my first try.

I'm sorry for the loss of your Dad, Birdseed. Whatever the relationship was like, the finality of a death must bring all manner of feelings. Being involved in handling a funeral and the estate is tough at the best of times. I wish you well as you seek healing.

Hi Birdseed,

I'm sorry you're having to go through estate issues. I'm going through that and it sucks.

Welcome to the forum and I hope you find what you need here  :heythere:
