Thanks veiled, I'm happy I've been the indirect "cause" of this, but I hope I'm not also causing any unnecessary pain or whatever. I was a bit worried about triggering people when I joined this forum. But I've been triggered myself and it's been okay so it's all good! :)

Thanks again for your comments Anthony, they're great... finally something I can relate to!!! I wish there were people like you in our local trauma support group. I feel like I understand my father a bit better now. And I'm really glad that you think the majority of therapists are idiots too lol. I have always thought that.
