Hi Audris,
I really feel for you, you've been through so much. I saw no self-medicating mentioned in your post. I used booze and pot in my early years to get through the hard times. Luckily I don't have an addicitive personality and suffered no long term harm. I could have; the way I drank and took chances until about age 25. Fact is, I was lucky to survive those years.You are right about the negetive talk and feelings. It does not hurt the other person at all, it just hurts you. It may take professional help to give them up. I had a person who cost me millions years ago and I still haven't completely let it go. It's a hard thing to do on your own. Especially when you are still paying the bill.
Take care,
Jedi
