I am always on the look out for healthy Mental wellness tips. My sister found this in a group and I felt it appropriate to share here because the author encouraged sharing. This is one of the helpers that Mr. Roger’s mother talks about. Taking the time to write out a list of tips and…
Today on one of the Facebook pages a person on the CPTSD page wondered why she was feeling so stressed when she liked to stay home. I pointed out to her that there is a big difference between choosing to stay home and being trapped at home. Death threats if you don’t comply. Accusations of…

I was the family scapegoat until my sister was born. Then that role was transferred to her while I was given the family care giver role. However, both my sister and I were blamed for negative things in the family. My father’s worse insult was to call someone a “Girrrl.” To him, there was nothing…
