I am sure that you will get some understanding support from people who have gone through similar situation.

I know that going through the court system for my workman's comp case caused me to end up back in the hospital any time something came up regarding it. I can understand how much more traumatic your situation is & how much more traumatic having to talk about it over & over again triggers the PTSD symptoms.

I am so glad that you feel that it's necessary to go through with this to stop this person from ever doing it to anyone else. I know you have my support & I am sure that you have support from everyone who knows you are going through this.

I am sorry that you experienced such a horrible situation. It's hard enough being in the psych hospital in the first place without having something traumatic happen to you while there.

I know that for me, I would keep at the top of my thinking the fact that you are doing this to protect others from having a similar experience & putting the person where he belongs, definitely NOT WORKING in a psych hospital.

I admire the strength it takes to force yourself to go through with this & I want you to know that you will definitely have my support along the way, reminding you that sometimes the most important things we have to do in life can be the most painful experiences but they are worth it in the end, keeping the end result as our focus rather than the struggle it takes to get there.
