Hello -

I am here seeking community after dealing with the lifelong repercussions of divorce, neglect, and verbal abuse. I have been in therapy for years on and off and most recently found a great therapist to finally unpack and process. That heavy work took about 2.5 years but I struggle with finding a sense of normalcy day to day and community to discuss these things. I appreciate and am grateful for my friends but it feels lonely in this struggle. Happy to have found this group through some research and participating here. Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm really glad you found your way here. What you shared about doing the deep work in therapy and still feeling that day-to-day loneliness makes a lot of sense.

You're not alone in that here. I hope this space can offer some of the understanding and connection you've been missing.
Welcome. 💛

Hi and a warm welcome to Out of the Storm Elizabeth Ann 

It sounds like you have been doing some good work in therapy      It can help to have a community like this where you can share and there is support and validation from others who have suffered relational abuse/neglect. I hope you do find it helpful, even comforting.
