I think a 12-step group would be useful to you right now and they’re completely free and available online or via phone. Maybe start with ACA, which started out for Adult Children of Alcoholics but also now encompasses anyone who grew up with any dysfunction in the house—I’ve met folks who had narcissistic parents, hoarding, etc. I’ve done one-on-one therapy and 12-step work off and on for years and honestly, when I really invest in the step work and groups, it’s like a rocket to new understanding. I wish you peace and commend you for starting the journey to making things different for yourself. It takes courage and bravery.
