Hey Scally hello and welcome to the board!!

I am so sorry for all that you have been through!!  It was very brave of you to tell your story....I know how hard it is to be honest!!

Does  feeling inadequate ever go away??

Yes, it does!!  but it is not easy to shrug off the mindset of a lifetime!!  It is only when we realise how brainwashed we were, that we can begin to move on.............I am so glad that you found this site.........and I truly wish for you the peace of mind that comes with freedom of thought!!

Well done for being brave enough to post...........I look forward to knowing you better, and welcome to the real world!!

Hugs
Sam xx
