ACE score 5 My abusive parent luckily died of cancer almost 30 years ago.

Me and my siblings turned our lives around in the first few years after that.

From being fast on way to a ditch, mentally, financially and physically I found the strenth to leave my drug addicted and alcoholic partner. I learned to admit amd recognize my own toxic behaviors and and took many years on my own to learn to set healthy boundaries and learn to live a healthy life. And to be a healthy parent.

Eventually finished University as a single parent with a full time job and I work with what I love today.

Own a house, a dog and have a good economy. No means financially rich, but in a long term happy relationship and in the best physical shape of my life.
