Hi Wisewoman,

I think you're probably right in that I shouldn't force myself into exposure in order to "get over it". I just haven't had any counselling yet for my PTSD (only assessments up the gazoo), and I thought that you were supposed to confront what triggers you.....not bury it under the covers and pretend it's not important.

I am so sorry that you went through years of abuse. I guess we are sisters in that regard. I was in an abusive marriage for 11 years until I finally got the courage to leave and start life all over again. Hello Welfare! Oh well......some things are better than abuse, right? I'm glad that you are safe.

Thanks for responding to my post. It means a lot that you took the time to do that. Let me know if I can help you with anything.
