ToniLB Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) i have posted twice, and finally realized that i never introduced myself here. my name is toni, been married almost 14 yrs and have an almost 6 yr old dd. i've dealt with multiple childhood abuse (csa, physical, emotional, verbal....i posted it in "i am a survivor of"...) for quite some time now, but things have been especially trying for me lately. my dad and i are currently not speaking and i don't see the situation improving anytime soon. because of this, i've had a few new issues come up that i am about to start back to therapy for. started coming here looking for support when it feels like i have so little within my own family of origin. thank you for allowing me to join...when i feel a little better about things, i'll post my story. i'm working on it now ;) looking forward to getting to know you all, ~toni Edited April 29, 2009 by ToniLB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fightergirl Posted April 29, 2009 Hi ToniLB I am Cathy, I am a member of the newbie support team. Myself and the rest of the team are here to help you with any questions or problems you have starting off. I am sorry to hear everything is coming back up for you, I know hard that can be, its good to see that you are starting back therapy it can be very helpful, I would say the majority of people here do not feel they have a strong enough support system in "real life" so you are not alone there! Look forward to seeing you around the board Take care Cathy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
