Hello all. I am still unsure to where I fit in here. I was emotionally abused as a child and in an abusive marriage currently. Seeking therapy I have my first visit on Friday. Hopefully it will confirm my suspicions of having C-PTSD.  Today was a difficult day as my husband started his fighting with me.  I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I feel so alone and I have no one to turn to. I’m so afraid to leave. I have two small children age 4 and 6. Two little girls. I want out of this abuse.

Welcome, Tumpervet1!  I'm so glad you've found your way here.  I'm also glad you'll be meeting with a therapist, not so much so you'll get the diagnosis you're looking for (although that will help), but because you deserve a safe place to be able to be yourself and get the support you need.  Your therapist should be able to help you out with figuring out a safe way to leave your abusive husband. Best of luck.  I look forward to getting to hear an update soon.

Welcome!  Sounds like you are taking your first steps to recovery.  It's hard to do and you should be proud of yourself.

We're so happy you found us, Tumpervet! I'm sorry to hear that you're in such a terrible situation - no one deserves to feel stuck in an abusive place, especially after everything you've already been through. But it sounds like you're taking steps toward recovery, which is a really powerful thing. And we're happy to support you on that path :hug: Stay strong.

Also, you can fit in, in more than one place.  I do.

Welcome! You'll fit in anywhere you feel is appropriate for you. It's more about what feels right for you, and less about the "right" place to post. Glad you're here, thanks for joining.
