EY 3 I had a rough childhood so I’ve been to both. Was fortunate to have a chance to turn my life around while I still had a chance, a long time ago. That being said, Big 4 is hard and stressful for some, whether you’ve been to jail or not. Even if you thrive in a fast pace environment with often very tight deadlines, it gets hectic and long hours get to people after a while. No need to discount people’s feelings and obviously the OP is not making a literal comparison lol

Has anyone dealt with coming to terms with an emotionally abusive relationship? I struggle to admit this (because more drastic examples come to mind), but my therapist mentioned that things like yelling/throwing things/blocking me from leaving the room are also abusive traits my ex demonstrated. It makes me feel alienated from myself — like “how could I have allowed myself to be treated like that?”. Also feeling ashamed to tell anyone
