In response to Are you the victim of a family member posted by jfarris:

I was the victim of verbal, psychological, and physical abuse from the age of 10 to age 16. I am now 45 years old. The abuser was my step-father. I am waking up to this event and the trauma it caused. I have been walking a path toward healing and recovery for about 25 years. It has been excruciating. Along the way I have come to recognize the disconnect, splitting and fear. I split off from myself because it was too painful to experience the terror. I have felt alone all of my life.
