  1. My father’s amphetamine
    psychosis (steroids also)
    subjected me to decades of
    adverse childhood experiences. My mother’s complaints to his doctors
    caused them to gaslight her
    with Miltown followed by Librium (Sackler) followed
    by decades of Valium (more Sackler). I’m
    87 and still trying to recover.
