awww @PeppyPatti it sounds like you have been through a lot. 🤗
You are so correct about age being a peaceful thing. The older I get, the less crap I will allow myself to deal with. i spouse you have put up with so much through your life, and you reach a point where you are no longer going to put up with it anymore, so you take actions. If only we could have lived our lives knowing what we know now. But I suppose that's what aging is all about, learning.
And you do not need to feel ashamed or say sorry about the "$20". You did what you had to, to survive in the situation that you were in. At that stage in your life, you wouldn't have had the tools to use, so you could make better choices. I have been there as well, and I have started to forgive myself for the bad choices I made back then. And now that I know why I end up where I was, I find it is easier to forgive myself.
I haven't done any trauma therapy yet, but it is something that I will be doing soon, once my health issues settle down. I still can't cope with people mentioning to me, about certain traumatic events in my life. I just tell them to shut up and not to talk about it, as it triggers my PTSD. I remember telling my partner to stop talking to me about it and he said that he feels he needs to talk about it, so I told him to talk about it with a therapist and not me.
Please be kind to yourself ❤️

Thanks @heartathome by chance I came across a quote by Charlotte Freeman that I found inspiring, so I have started going through her social media and downloading ones that I think will be helpful for members of this forum. Hopefully they can help or inspire them 😊
