I'm probably not normal, because it took until my 30's for me to even begin to address the problems that were surfacing at a very disruptive and rapid rate.
Overall though, I would say my life (the part of my life that I can truly say belongs to me and not the trauma) began when I was 35.
Which, one could argue that age is not that different from when most people assume their own lives.
But I actually think what you are asking me is how long did it take for the grief to end. For me, about 4-5 years. BUT it is different for everyone and, to be honest, I think for some reason I wanted to hold onto it longer than most.
It's a wide open road and people travel it at their own pace.
Seldom.
