Tomi~

I have had those freezing moments and the feelings to go along with them with my PTSD. Both of them I have learned to work thru. The feelings, I let myself go ahead and feel what i need to. I dont try to stop them. Thats what my abusers would want me to do. I try to keep note either on paper or in my mind what I am feeling and then work on it from there. That way if it happens again, I can deal with it better. The freezing moments, I just do some deep breathing , and try to stay in the moment ( grounding) Remnding myself I am in control not anyone else.

As far as the creatures wife, the thing that popped in my mind about her. Is that she is after you so much because she is jealous of you that you got out of the situation, and she's not been able to. Obviously, the abuse of the creature is something she's also learned from and thinks its ok to do that. I dont think she knows any different than what she is living with. Not trying to make excuses for her mind you. Just feel it is what it is.

I wish you all the best in working thru this. Always here for you should you need to talk.
