first of all i am no doctor, i can only speak from experience.
i too suffered from ptsd. it's a personal journey one takes to recover from the past abuse. my journey took me 25 years.
the first thing i did was accept the abuse that was done to me. talking about it out loud, and writing.
the second thing i did confront my mother for not protecting me.
the third thing i did forgiving is giving up the hope that the past could be any different. i can't change the past, whats done is done.
my anger, my nightmares, the pity party, the loneliness, the betrayal and the blaming myself is gone.
(((hugs))) thank you for sharing
