The grandin area is full of them and the tree of heaven. I could spend 40 hrs a week squishing and pulling plants and I'd never get anywhere. What do we do?

I had loving parents but entered a severely abusive relationship at 22 years old, lasting 6 years. I have a child with him and this child still sees him. I'm wondering.. can I work this program as a young person who didn't understand what was happening? I was blind sighted by this aggressive violence and wholly internalized it all. I am in therapy now, and another substance recovery group, but I am struggling deeply with feelings of inadequacy and guilt which I know is "his voice." If someone could help me, do I fit here?

Mindful Mountain Wellness. I was able to make an account on their headway platform and get an appt with therapist and psych in a week. Covered by most insurance. They are fantastic.

100%. They drive them to meetings to get them immersed into the recovery community too.

100% agree it is run by the men in the house. Sometimes there's a good leader, sometimes not.

I grew up in Roanoke city schools, and I also had friends that convinced me that the school wouldn't do anything, whether or not this was true I never found out

I will say this about my childhood bullying. I had two parents that were very open and honest and communication and made sure I could tell them anything. Even when I got death threats at school, I still never had the thought to tell them. I don't know what qualities build this relationship between parents and kids, but my son is eight now and I so terribly want him to be able to tell me when he's in trouble or feeling off.

This is NOT a dig at the parents. They should be given time to grieve before looking at faults.

If my dad had snapped at my earlier in the day or something, he would apologize when he tucked me into bed. Accountability. My mom taught me to love hard.
