Hi everyone :)

[Serenity0121]

Hi! I'm really glad I found OOTS. I have only recently figured out that I have CPTSD with the help of therapy. I didn't even know what it was, so I finally feel like I'm not the only one. I'm a single 38y/o F and the last 2 years have been the most difficult of my life. I won't go into detail now on that, but I suffered psychological abuse from a narcissistic parent and have dealt with a lot of mental struggles and failed relationships over the years. I'm really trying to heal but it's been very difficult. Hoping that through this forum I can gain insight from others and also support others as well

Hi Serenity and a warm welcome to Out of the Storm! 

There are a lot of us here who have narcissistic parents so we totally get what that's like. We also have a sister site at Out of the FOG and while they don't cover CPTSD specifically, there's a lot there about NPD you might find useful.

Hello Serenity0121, welcome.  I'm sorry the last couple years have been so rough.  You've found a wonderful place to help though.  At least, that's my take on OOTS.
