I suppose that's what I get for rambling on the internet in the middle of the night while also binging The Resident on Netflix. I'm sure you'll be in for a treat when I eventually put… Continue reading Adverse Childhood Event or Adult Trauma?

A Memory I’d Like To Say Is Vague

At the time I am writing and scheduling this post, I am supposed to be starting to go through some, well all I suppose, of the sexual abuse from Wyatt with my therapist so we can also work through the after effects of it.
