Has anyone grown up with a father who would burn down the family home to collect the insurance money? He burnt everything but his own stuff. My cat died in his fire when I was 4 years old. I have such traumatic experiences as a child, that they fill almost 3 pages in a scribbler...before I was age 13.
I was in a very toxic workplace for 26 years and moved from one abusive partner to another. It has taken me years of hard work to understand and accept that I don't have to live this way. If anyone wants to talk, I would love to hear from you. I really need a friend who understands what I have been through.
