Has your psychologist diagnosed you at all? In some ways, I would think he would have a better idea than us. But of course we understand. Most of us that have grown up in f**ked up families have been emotionally beaten and stripped of our childhood. It is usually accompanied with beatings, molestations, and neglect. Have you had any of the three listed? I have a hard time believing that your mom and dad would yell so angrily at each other but never hit each other, or you, or your siblings?

I'm very happy that you've got a therapist/psychologist. You are already well on your way. And Welcome Merlin.
