This family chaos and emotional emptiness led me to help others like myself. When we grow up without safety, protection, boundaries, guidance we have to figure It out on our own. What the hell do we know?! But we sort of figure it out; graduating from school, college, become professionally successful but we can't shake IT off. . . heart racing, mind racing, the negative voice: "que pendeja eres" (you're so stupid), "tu no puedes. . . (you can't do. . .)
