Trauma Support / by watermelons

...See more Hello everyone.  I am new here.  I don't have a lot of time for traditional therapy.  I am hoping I can maybe find support here. I am estranged from family.  There is a lot of intergenerational trauma.  I am with a partner of 4 years.  It is a rollercoaster.  Said partner is an active alcoholic with a history of substance abuse.  I struggle to connect with most people and have few other social supports. I'm an adult learner in nursing college and I work.  I don't have a lot of time.  I'm trying to detach from my relationship as it has been aggravating old wounds and old trauma is resurfacing.  I need to be focused on my schooling and I'm worried I am being sabotaged. This is a very me-centric post, I apologize.  Every day has become about giving to others and my cup is empty.  I am hoping to be understood.
