Aaron Michael Marsh, Adult Child. Here is my background. Here is my story and I have been terrified to tell it my whole life. I assumed if any of this ever got out that my family would kick me out of it. The reality is I needed to walk away from any family that would rather keep this a secret and protect the abusers than stay in it. That wouldn't and still isn't safe for me. So this is how I got CPTSD, how I because an Adult Child, Family Scapegoat Abuse survivor, teenage homeless kid and how I got the wounds I would just try and ignore and confuse it for healing. This is Act 1 of three. The next act is how these wounds effected my adult life. Act 3 is how I went in to hiding/healing. There is hope.
