[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a fairly new adult orphan at 55.

Now im in weekly therapy to process so much trauma and neglect that unfortunately manifested in panic and anxiety that I’ve grappled with for decades.

I have been on antidepressants for decades.

Past diagnoses include; bulimia, generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, panic disorder, PMDD, postpartum depression.

My therapist tells me that I’m incredibly strong and that it’s nearly miraculous that I’m a kind, capable and loving person with a gentle spirit.

Forgot to answer about my siblings.

Did they learn? Yes and no. I happened to be the target, the problem child, the sassy back talker who was always in trouble and being punished by my parents. I don’t remember my father ever saying one kind word to me; he yelled at me or criticized or mocked me daily. My older siblings learned to ignore and avoid our dad and had more freedom being older and had an entirely different experience with him.

We are all married, are all parents and high achievers. [/quote]
