Jami, welcome!
I had goosebumps reading what you wrote because i went through a similar experience. It happened very fast within a week or less my whole life changed. I cant even watch tv now without analyzing what a characters past must have been like. They are not even real people! Its like Stef helped me uncover new pathways within by brain that have been hidden for years due to abuse and neglect in childhood. Once they are uncovered there is no going back. Its hard to take in...its hard when you finally start to look at people around you and see the poison that they have been spiting at you for years. Just finally being able to see evil for what it is was a huge sigh of relief for me tho. Now that i can see the evil, lies, and inconsistencies I can make more rational and logical choices.
