Welcome to the forum @Littlelady76 
Hi littlelady! Welcome. I'm pretty new here myself.
My trauma happened when I was 13, sexual abuse by my brother. When my daughter had her 13th birthday, I was 36 and I decided I needed some therapy. Good move, right? Nope, the therapist told me that "brother-sister exploration" was quite normal. He didn't ask me anything about family dynamics but even without taking that into account, believe me, it was traumatic.
So it took me another 3 years to get up the courage to find a support group for survivors of sexual abuse/rape. That was really a good move. I hope your therapy and meds are helpful, and that you find new friends and support on this forum.
