Dear Tara:

“I know that my parents fought a lot.. I was never abused or experienced any direct trauma”- witnessing your parents fighting a lot is traumatic, for a child. I  know because I have that experience. Do you remember the fights, what you saw, what you heard, what you felt?

“I was always in trouble for various random reasons almost all the time when I was younger”- can you tell me more about that?

If you choose to answer my questions, take your time answering. I will be away from the computer and back in about 13 hours. I will read, re-read and reply to you further when I am back.
