Hello all,
I wanted to make a post to introduce myself. My name is Christine and I am 39 this year and have 3 children. I am an adult child of two alcoholics and trying to get thru my journey to some kind of peace. I have complex PTSD and I have been in therapy for 20+ years although the variance in therapists really is huge.
My parents are still living for for 6 months we have had a no contact contract in place because they still are very toxic. Today we had a mediated visit. It was a little nuts. My parents who until now had lied and gaslighted me my whole life broke down and admittedso many things that had profound impact on my life. I have a LONG recovery ahead but validation of the truth helped.
I am just beginning to come to terms with it all. Anyway I am really struggling.
