I can relate (see blog if needed)
I believe is it a great thing to put your childhood demons to bed with therapy (if you can)
I myself feel 70% better from the therapy recently i never told anyone my childhood..not a therapist until April this year, i am have to say i have a better understanding of a lot of the stuff now and i also spoke to my mother in detail about how it was wrong of her to place so much trust in her men and the amuse her and them did to me and she explain from her side ...now i get both sides i can see her frustration on her side ..if you only see one sided its hard to truly understand, we thats what helped me (im 47 btw)
