I was sexually abused by my father and brothers and cousins. Started near age two and continued till age fourteen or so. Working with psychotherapist to try to get unstuck from the then and there to be able to live the here and now. My mother was an alcoholic. Last of six chilren. Currently interested in finding out about alpha-stim as a treatment for the depression tht I fight and seems like I have always fought. Don't know what else to write.
