I can’t say I’ve ever been through anything quite like this. But if it makes you feel any better, I think quite highly of you for being able to pull through it like you have. I know you may not think that crying in the shower is dignified or a show of strength, but it is. It’s just one of the many breakdown points we all suffer through life. You’ve gotta have those times to just let it all out.

That was heart wrenchingly painful to read, I can’t even imagine how much it must have hurt to live through it and to struggle through those memories still. I think you are brave to confront all these emotions and memories and to work through them.

You know that feeling when you discover something you suspected was true actually IS true?
Yes.

I’m sorry about this. Although I don’t have personal experiences with alcoholism, my grandfather was/is an alcoholic and I see how much it has affected my dad, especially when talks about his childhood. My close cousin had to take care of her four siblings and her mom in high school because of it. It’s such a damaging addiction, especially when family and trust is involved..

I can so relate to all of what you wrote — the betrayal, the fear of trusting. What often unnerves me is not knowing what kinds of things might trigger such a reaction of memories and hurt, and whether I’ll be able to control myself if I’m around someone else.
