ACE 6, no need to delve into the details beyond physical and emotional abuse and neglect.

I’m happy with where my life is now. Spent many years struggling with severe anxiety and depression.

Therapy is key. If you have a high ACE score, see a therapist. It took me years of therapy to even begin to overcome some of this.

I’m very grateful for the life I have now, especially my spouse and kids. I have the opportunity to not be my parents, and I’m taking it.
