New here, Hi!
At 58yrs old (male), I've just realised that I was emotionally and physically abused as a child. And also I have been the subject of abuse for 58 years - it is still happening! It's early days, but I'm positive about making some improvement to my life, now I know what's been happening to me, but don't expect a 'full recovery'.
I currently feel I've been 'abandoned' multiple times throughout my life. I can site numerous 'hard facts' backing this up - the latest (which sparked off my recent 'awakening (out of the FOG)' was my wife of 30 years walking out, for no reason I could fathom (apart from her being a narcissistic, histrionic PD).
So, back to this abandonment feeling - how do I work out if it's 'just' a flashback - or in fact it's true, that I have been abandoned repeatedly, all my life?
It's a lonely place to be.
