Jojo, I don’t think people would necessarily assume that about you, lots of people out there have complicated families. It’s so common! So glad to hear you can bounce back too, and sending a huge hug to you! I will say, one thing I am grateful for is for whatever reason I grew up to never tolerate any either verbal or physical abuse towards me and I met the loveliest man when I was young who has been a great husband and father and is super gentle and kind. My home as an adult is the opposite to what I lived in as a kid, it’s quiet, peaceful and happy. I don’t know how I would of got through menopause and thyroid troubles without his support & understanding. It’s hard, but it’s definitely possible to get through this type of childhood trauma and the anxiety it leaves behind. X
