I'm sure your experience and story will give many people great insight into mental illness. My goodness it must have been so frightening and heartbreaking to grow up in such a stressful environment.

That was my normality. Sad, but for the majority; I thought it was what all families experienced

This is something I've often thought about. I have some remarkably clear recollections of suddenly realizing that what passed for 'normal' was anything but! Growing up with a parent who is a 'text-book anti-social personality' is horribly stressful - that doesn't even begin to cover it*- and it is something one continues to deal with all their life, but what is worse is having to come to terms with the anger and resentment that one feels for the parent who stayed and subjected the child/children to such a toxic, cruel, potentially dangerous situation.

Thank you. If one person (outside of my enjoyment), enjoyes, or relates to my story, then I would be really happy. Whatever the weather, this has already been an incredibly liberating experience for me ☺️
Lots more to come....
