Dear Tugalie:

You mean you might move out and live in a youth housing? This is an excellent idea and I hope it works out and you do move out ASAP. If I lived with my mother, no amount of therapy would have helped me. When I was in my mother’s company, even in telephone contact only with her, it was like you wrote: “old (wounds) keep opening up.”

My therapist combined CBT, DBT and Mindfulness. He was my first competent, caring and hard working therapist, five years ago.

But back to you moving out, I am very hopeful for you. I don’t know anything about you and your situation more than you shared on this thread, but I do know enough to be certain that moving out for you is the right thing to do, the beginning of your healing.

I wonder if you get on the waiting list and how long it is.
