"TomG" from the Midwest USA; I'm over 40, but never lived on my own.
I've had PTSD from infancy due to abuse and neglect by my family; and it only compounded from there, due to blame and labelling of my symptoms, using anything against me-- not just by my family, but by society.
I also had various experience with bullying, with people blaming me when I filed complaints about it. I've never been able to work, I live with my family.
I'm home alone when I'm not in graduate school, where I attend part-time; I'm hoping I can get a job after that, but it's very hard due to the stress, and fear of failure for every possible reason.
