There has been physical, mental, emotional abuse, gas lighting and sexual assault. We have started work on a lot of this now that he is in recovery, however it seems that we are dealing with his problems and getting him better, but as always I am forgotten. one of his boundaries is lying. I have told lies as what I feel is self preservation, this started when I was very young to keep my safe. I am not sure how to stop and be truthful and authentic.

Your podcast has helped me more than any of my therapy sessions?....…"
