Hey All, I'm glad to join this forum. I've been no contact with my 4 older sibs for almost 10 yrs and this is the 2nd time around. Years of gang ups, smear campaigns, scapegoat + narcissistic abuse, plus untreated addiction issues. I do feel in a much better place today in life thanks to forums like this speaking truth to taboos, secrets, and multigenerational dysfunctional patterns. I work in mental health field too so helping others recover from CPTSD has been rewarding. Looking forward to connecting to other brave souls on this powerful healing journey.
