I am now in my early fifties, happily married to the man who changed my life. I have two beautiful children in their late twenties and we live in Queensland, Australia. I had endured so much pain and sadness in my earlier years, and I still have days where I struggle with my past. I was diagnosed with complex PTSD and anxiety. The diagnosis has helped me to understand the way I think and feel is different to other people due to my traumatic history. I’m still healing from those scars left from my childhood. I found having support from my loving husband, amazing friends and an awesome therapist have helped me immensely towards the healing process.
