I survived sexual abuse from my father ages 2-13. My memories of this were suppressed until after my second daughter was born. So I have been working through healing and re-parenting myself all while raising an autistic son. Both kids are neurodivergent and have sensory processing disorder and ADHD and bad anxiety. My PTSD and depression have been pretty severe throughout their youth. I'm coming out the other end. I identify with your story. You are not alone. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your truth. This stuff is not easy. We are alive when we very likely coukd have not made it. We are changing our kids lives and generational trauma. But it sure is draining.
My Dearest: it's left up to us. And I'm so happy that you're a survivor like myself. It's relieving to not feel so lonely. Your family is blessed to have you at the head, and I wish continual healing for you.
