Hi everyone, so I've finally decided to put an end to everything in regards to my childhood trauma. I've kicked my donor to the kerb (don't recognise him as a father anymore) I said everything I needed to in regard to it out loud while I was driving around today and it made me feel better so I'll take it bit by bit day by day and see how I go

@Matty19901Well done mate! It reminds me of something someone told me a while ago... "we have so much negative in our lives right now, so don't have people in it who only bring in more negativity." It sounds like you've taken a massive step to some really positive changes in your life.
