My counselor says I self medicate. Why? Well, we were beat on a regular basis whether we needed it or not. First my older sister was killed driving drunk. Then my older brother killed himself to escape the memories. I smoke pot. It calms me down. I did not beat or berate my children. If they got too much and I got all worked up-I locked myself in my bedroom and smoked one. It always helped. My children are now adults and I have 2 grandchildren that I do not have to worry about how they are being raised. I wish more abusers would smoke one and kick back. I know the world would be a better place.
