hello!

Hi, 24 year old mother from texas. Fairly new listener. I really enjoy the podcast and since Paul demands every week that I join the forum I figured I better give it a shot. I feel I'm fairly free of mental illness, at least in comparison to almost every person in my family, especially my mother. I haven't ever been severely abused or neglected in anyway by anymore. I mostly want to understand in some way how illnesses and addictions plague my family and how it somehow passed over me. I'm co dependent, have some anxiety, and have some food addiction. but who the hell doesn't? My mom has caused most of my issues with her poor parenting and manipulation. I guess just in comparison to how completely fucked up some people in life have been, I feel like i've lucked out. The biggest thing I struggle with is food addiction, and my fiance does too. I'm hoping i'll soon work up the courage to go to a support group for it and get it under control.
Anyway... hope everyone is well!
