nuckingfutz, i always find your comments helpful and you have caring heart. i was emotionally abused in my marriage-long time period-and it did take some time for me to regain my life. i suffer from ptsd but it's manageable today. just be kind to yourself, know u're safe now, and give it time. you will get better re those thoughts/fears/flashbacks.
