      Evening all, it’s been a year since I was on here last. I am trying to rebuild myself and my life since leaving a (detail removed by Moderator) parent. I was homeless with (detail removed by Moderator) children all living separately and after (detail removed by Moderator) we are back together again. I just can’t seem to be happy, feel very alone, and empty. I should be happy I am free but don’t feel that way. The abuser has moved away so is no longer a threat to us. My other parent is absent and doesn’t really bother. How do I start to deal with the feelings of childhood abuse that lead into adulthood. I have lots of surpressed memories that keep coming back and nightmares still. Any advice would be great

      Hi Tigerbread,

      Welcome back to the forum. I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Its understandable you are feeling this way- when you are going through something like this, you don’t have time to process the trauma and what is happening. Its good that you are feeling safe now and also in a safe place to address some of those struggles for you.

      You can access free online courses created by or in partnership with therapists specialising in trauma at Bloom. These courses can be accessed in your own time and at your own pace and cover topics such as trauma, abuse and boundaries.

      Take care and keep posting

      Lisa
