Do you have a violent past? How did you overcome it?

Violent is an understatement. I survived rape and attempted murder. A decade of domestic abuse by my kids father. Four suicide attempts since 1995. Plus years of mental abuse from previou srelationships.

I have cptsd because of it and get to feel damaged and broken. A recovering alcoholic from it. Dealing with my emotions is a battle and like most battles I fight it alone.

I choose not to let it make me a hateful person but I keep people at a distance.I went off my medication 5 years ago and I walked out on my therapist.

It has held me back from some things and others it has made me stronger.
