i believe i am healed from the abuse but i will never forget what it did to me or how it made me feel at the time. a residual of my abuse is ptsd. there are times that loud noises, etc. will trigger that.
what i did do for myself was deal with the gamut of feelings i had with a T. i also said i didn't want to ever be in that position again if i could help it. we worked on how i can identify the "red flags" that abusers send up. it's been very helpful to me to have this invaluable tool to protect myself.
