I was emotionally/mentally abused as a child by my stepfather. He was around from age 3-15. I am now 32 and his words and actions still rule my life. It affects how I interact or don't interact with other people, how I feel about myself, how I eat, dress, love. I have no self worth and no self esteem.
I don't know how to let go. I don't know if therapy would help me at this point, the trauma has been so ingrained for so long.
Has anyone ever truly gotten past their trauma so they could actually live?
