Leslie has a "loser" identity fostered by profound paternal neglect, strives to be "good" and works to get attention from several men. Her father's negative voices even now, are overwhelming and powerful. Father used physical punishment. Her mother suffered from OCD and was a victim of sexual abuse. The children were often locked out of the house on Saturdays and other days could only play in the basement. Father did not challenge mother or attempt to get help for mother, he was primarily focused on work. Leslie has a history of depression with suicidal episodes. Leslie has tried several kinds of therapy, including EMDR, and has taken anti-depressants at times, but is not consistent with medication. She feels very isolated, and that her friends that do not have children are not supportive. Leslie waits for her children to go to bed, and then starts drinking. She often drinks late into the evening (usually 4-5 mixed drinks) before bed. She struggles to get up in the morning but rarely misses going to work. She frequently has suicidal thoughts after drinking.
