As somebody who has worked in childcare for fostering and adoption breakdowns for the last thirty seven years, i can say your account is very typical.
You shouldn't feel bad about coming to this realization 'late' in life.
It sounds like you had an awful lot to work through before you got there.
And if your 'place of safety' is STILL your place of safety........Good for you.

@Picklebobble2 Thank you, I really appreciate that. I think I’m so used to seeing other people who have struggled “not end up so well” that I feel conflicted. It’s not survivor’s guilt, per se, but something similar to it. I went through a period where I was in a residential as I recovered, too, so I think I have an idea of what you mean

@abman55 Hmm.. I’d say that it helps a bit. One of these days, I’d like to find someone who specializes in other modalities that aren’t just CBT.
But thank you so much, I really appreciate that and I’m sorry that you’ve also struggled with negative feelings. When I’m experiencing intense emotions, I try to remind myself that even with as difficult as they are, many of them are temporary and they’ll eventually pass. It’s just a matter of waiting out the storm and having the right materials (coping skills) to work through it.
