It happened in December 2004......right at the time I came here to PC a few months earlier. It's been over 11 years. I still have the detailed memory in my brain of what happened but it only comes out when something brings it up. I have been able to let go of it & the control it had over me for so many years. My wonderful DBT group helped a lot. Moving 2100 miles away where I didn't know anyone, to start a new life helped the most (which I did in 2007). I am surrounded by wonderful people that I have met since moving here. Something I never had all 54 years of my life up to that point. Leaving the bad marriage with the lack of support I got there was also critical to healing because it only made the trauma issue worse by creating a traumatic situation of it's own. I had been married 33 years before I finally walked out.
