Hi @RangerBaker

I see you haven't posted for a while so welcome back to the forums.

That is a difficult story you have and it must have taken much courage to heal from the traumatic abuse of your childhood (and not sure how far along recovery you are).

Your last two posts have cut off mid word so not sure why that is? Are you having some techinical issues?

Just a friendly reminder to not disclose any identifying information on the forum and using discretion with content that could be triggering to others.

That said, what is it that you are seeking some help with e.g. not sure about?

kind regards,

Frog

@RangerBaker. Welcome to the forums.
Wow such a traumatic start to your life. How do you cope with that now? Do you do talk therapy to work through all that childhood abuse?
Thank you for sharing part of your story. You are brave and you are strong.

Sorry I don't know why it cuts me off, I have told a lie to my husband about having paid for and organised a trip he is constantly nagging me and he made me feel pressured into this I don't normally lie and I know I have done the wrong thing we are struggling money wise he is not interested in our finances spends 250 plus on game cards I am so over everything his family don't understand why I can't work due to my mental health issues I find it difficult to function in a daily basis

I find talk therapy not very helpfull as it makes me angry and upset about what I have been through and in doing so it makes me depressed I am having issues moving on from what has occurred
