My biggest hurdle was hurting my adopter- finally I said "F it" and started trauma therapy and started unraveling the abuse I suffered from both her and my sibling. Also the inspiration to share my story came from the mental health and substance misuse charity Puck Support in Canada and their founder Brady Leavold! I loved the charity as I experienced a lot of the same abuse he did as a child- and I watch his podcast Hockey 2 Hell And Back when I can! Seeing guests share their stories on his podcast encouraged me to share mine! I will no longer be silent about my abuse and trauma I suffered- no matter how much the world says "you cant have PTSD, when you always knew you were adopted" I know in my heart turning my pain into purpose will help me and others!
