I'm 40-something, and battling my way through the maze that is recovery from childhood trauma. I live in a beautiful part of Wales, with easy access to sitting on the beach or the sea wall when I feel low, and I feel blessed for that. I've resisted blogging for a long time, but after a little(!) gentle prodding (you know who you are.....), I've finally given in to inflicting my often messed up head on the world.......
Like a lot of people, my childhood wasn't exactly ideal. My parents, both committed Christians, had their own issues, and as always this impacted on the children, myself included. By the time I was 9, I'd tried to commit suicide a number of times, and so when an apparently gentle Dad of a friend (in contrast to the anger I experienced both at home and outside of the home) from the church, a respected leader, showed me some kindness and understanding, it was a relief. So began the real nightmare.......
