You are not alone. We are here for you.
Try "Getting Through the Day" by Nancy J. Napier. I'm not too far into it but it's about strategies for adults hurt as children (its subtitle). It's helped me feel like I can have a little power over my overwhelming thoughts.
Try to remember, even little baby steps take time. I remember being left all alone in the cold, hard wooden playpen with no sheet or cover, hungry as can be. All grimy and dirty, waiting for someone to come take care of my most basic human needs. I wonder how I remember that, but I know it's true.I have three kids, too. I just try to do my very best for them, so they don't have to go through a fraction of what I did. They're spoiled rotten w/love.
Hang in there. Post and we will listen,
antigua
