I want to run away

@Lindsey i have been going to weekly therapy for almost 2 decades now. It has helped a lot but clearly not enough. I do the therapy and take the meds but clearly its not enough. Ive even done intense outpatient therapy. Everything helps, but not by very much. I dont know what else to do and i dont think im capable of healing. Thats why i want to go. I can take care of my son financially and i wont do near as much damage to him
Not all therapists are created equally. You need one that specializes in trauma, and maybe consider a different type of therapy, like emdr. The fact that you're introspective and considering how you impact your son shows that you're not your father. You just have to learn to parent differently than what you grew up with
Girl have you ever thought about going to therapy to become better for not just yourself but for your son i get you had an abusive father and youre scared of turning into him but it seems you are completely far from the same and want to be in your son’s life getting help is the first step and breaking the cycle is even better especially if you love your son so much i think its means a lot for him as well as for him to get help and support it come be ppd and that definitely can be treated if you allow it and are 100% in it if you ever need to talk im here for it as well 🙂
