(((((Typo))))) I agree with everyone above. I find that current stress in my life can sometimes activate old stress & thoughts. I thought I had pretty much dealt with my childhood SA until this past year when my abuser's daughter (my niece) announced her engagement and impending wedding. The whole year of that taking place was horrible for me: memories and my PTSD acting up again. My healing process has lasted all my life. It takes a break sometimes, comes back in different forms, with different emotions. I learn better coping skills as time goes on and that helps. I haven't found anything that's been a magic pill for happy endings or a total end to traumatic memories. More like peeling an onion, layer after layer after layer. It may not feel good, but I learn something from each layer that pops up.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
