35 years ago I asked my husband for a divorce. He locked the door, took a wine bottle and bashed me in the face with it. I reached for the phone to call the police and he said he would kill me if I dialed the phone. He called me a slut. This was all triggered yesterday by the release of the O.J. Simpson book in which he ways if he did kill her it was because she was a slut and deserved it. I called my son and he defended O.J. I am now lost in my PTSD. My rational mind is not able to ease my pain. There are just times when I am powerless over my feelings. Does anyone else have PTSD around domestic violence? I need some help here. My therapist does not let me call him between visits. I don't have any close friends right now. I am heartbroken that my son is just like his dad.
