But I think this forum is more what I need.

I'm not dealing directly with a person with PD anymore, though my daughter has suffered as a result of her dad's PD. She has some of the same kinds of behaviors that he did, as well as having been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Her symptoms sound like complex PTSD to me.

I'm certain I have this condition, too, as a result of childhood abuse and the abusive relationship with my daughter's dad. I've done a fair amount of work on myself, 12 step program for family and friends of alcoholics, therapy, etc. I find myself barely holding on, emotionally, recently because I have been feeling so alone. I'm glad to be here and hope to find some solutions. I'm currently in the process of rebuilding my life after a long physical illness, and my emotional (CPTSD-related) challenges are coming to the fore as I try to move forward. I'm grateful for this forum and hope I find what I'm looking for here. Thank you for your kind attention.

Welcome!  I just did the same thing; it was thanks to your post that I learned about this website.
