2Pac - we have tried the family healing thing, the intervention thing...was not successful. She is the type of person who keeps it all inside and the fact that she even decided to see a psychiatrist was so suprising. He wants to see her every day if he could but she feels she can only handle so much at one time.
So she is going at her pace, which if you think about it, she is unraveling all this trauma from age 8 to now. She's spent over 30 years in a self imposed inner world, and in denial. There's a lot to unravel.
The damage to our family though is staggering. All roads somehow lead to this.
Her family has a history of this...a lot..her Mom...many of nher siblings. Its quite frightening.
