((((((((( SSR ))))))))))

It is very, very hard for us to escape our abusers. While I have not suffered the abuse you have, it has been very hard to not feel like I "should" communicate with the person who hurt me so much. It will get to the point, with good counseling and hard work, that you might think about it for a moment, but then you'll say, "No, that is definately not healthy for me.", and you will move on to think about other things.

You have been given the best of advice. I just wanted to add it does get better.

Hugs,
