If you are someone who realized a trauma, or multiple traumas from your childhood may have influenced a life of addiction, what led you to that realization?
Thanks for taking the time to watch, and comment. I am grateful you are here, and look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions. Again, many thanks.
7:58 That story made me really curious about what my cousins and extended family really think/thought about me. I’ve always felt like i was treated like I was. There were multiple othering things about me though as well. I lived far away from the rest of the family. I was an only child, all the other families were 3 or more kids. I was the youngest by so much that i was the ages of my cousins children. Then i was adopted. I couldn’t have felt more othered. Adoption was the least of it.
I have other stories of adoptees adopted at older ages. I’m not sure how old you were when you were adopted. But I understand with in bio families their is trauma, and adoption or being removed from the home is another adverse childhood event.

❤️ thank you for sharing this. 40 year old adoptee who just crashed into the iceberg of my trauma. So much of this resonates with me.
