introduction post
Before I introduce myself, I must apologize that I did not read the posting guidelines before I made my username, which comes very close to breaking the rule about personally identifiable information. So, if that's a problem I'll gladly change my username if someone can tell me how.. or just make a new one if necessary. To avoid releasing any further personal identification, I'll simply forgo the use of my first name.
I'm RT, I am 35 years old with wife and children. I have been married for 13 years with no real issues surfacing that would require revealing childhood traumas to my wife or her family. I explained my father's absence simply as a deadbeat dad situation. My mother was a mentally unstable alcoholic who died a few years after I married my wife. I never felt the need or desire to open old wounds revealing the nature of my childhood to my wife or her family until early 2015. My son entering his teenage years released a flood of overwhelming repressed issues. I know the exact moment the dam broke and I just haven't been the same since that day. It's been pretty excruciating to deal with. I'm just looking for some people with similar background and maybe further along in dealing with these things. Nice to meet you all.
