Lyn,
It's good to have you!
I'm finding that a lot of things that seemed normal to me growing up were very damaging, and that children shouldn't have to live through the things that all of us grew up with. It's been very helpful to see that even though some things don't seem all that bad now, through the eyes of a child it was devastating and life-altering.
I don't remember a lot of stuff from my childhood either, so it will be interesting to see if more details start coming out - I think!
Keep coming back - we're all in this together.
Hugs,
JG
