I am 30 year old female, that suffers from a state of unhappiness, my childhood was challenging, being raised in a separated household. I endured on and off physical abuse and mental intimidation from both my parents. I did very well in school as an honor student vying for the positive affection from each parent. I graduated from a technical school and I'm currently employed. I've struggled in relationship with men, I don't reply positively when complimented, I rarely apologize or say I'm sorry when it's warranted, I don't have the patience to repeat myself to others who can keep up with me. How can I become a happier person?
