Hi MagicBus, welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear what you went through as a child, but if it's any comfort to you, there are many of us who went through similar childhood abuses - and many years of it. It sucks the big bad one, but this place is wonderful to help us work through it.

Stick around and read all you can (if you haven't already). There's a "plethora" (my new word of the day) of information here, not only from the articles, but from the people who post on the boards as well. Before you know it, your therapy here will include helping others!
