It's clear to me that you are a strong young person. It's great that you're looking for support -- shows a lot about someone at your age. Proof that you can overcome.

As I'm sure you're already aware, physical trauma seems to intensify and show it's horns the older we get. Good thing you're taking action now.

As for the Psychological effects -- thank God for resources that help those of us with tough pasts to keep our sanity in track!

I'm new to this site and have found that people are genuinely caring. What a relief!

Good luck with your situation and I hope that you find the answers you are looking for!
