today has sent us spiraling badly from the very beginning. we agreed to attend a church service at the church we were so badly spiritually abused for 9 years with a good friend this morning because she didnt want to go alone so we thought we would be nice and go. BIG MISTAKE!!! turns out our ex-counselor of 7 years who abandoned/destroyed us back in november was the speaker this morning and needless to say it badly triggered an entire world of feelings. we felt completely frozen and lost the ability to talk. our friend felt bad because she didnt know she was speaking. but it set off sooooo much sadness anger despair inside. the little ones who called her "mom" have been inconsoleable since. we feel like we are drowning in a tidal wave of tears that have no way to be released. the pain in searing. the rejection/abandonment/worthlessness have come roaring back with a vengeance. we are still reeling. we tried to hide but she saw us and hugged us,whispered "i love all of you" in our ear while we stood paralyzed,unable to move or speak. please,can we have some hugs and encouragement if there is any to be shared? thank you♥♥♥

TD, I'm not familiar with your history but you are worth SO MUCH more than what it seems like this woman gave you. If she has the nerve to go and do something like that after hurting you so badly it just proves her utter incompetence. You are lucky to be rid of her. Nothing she did reflects on you, it reflects on her own awful judgement. You will make it through this

You have us. And I hope you have others for support in RL, even if you don't tell them what is going on? Can you email your counselor?

What a terrible thing to have to go through. It sounds so painful. I'm so glad you survived it, and knew you could come here for support.

She is probably busy or something. It has to do with her, not you. You wanted to help your friend by going to the church. Do you realize then that it would be bad for you? It is admirable that you wanted to help your friend but we can't help others when it endangers ourselves.

no we did not know ahead of time,neither of us did. had we known no way would we have set foot in there. just trying very hard to work through everything seeing her brought up and its just overwhelming right now. intellectually we know she will reply but we just dont feel worthy of being helped

So your feelings of abandonment came up? And now you feel like you don't deserve help? Was this triggered up from her too?

This is understandable. I have had this shaking reaction before too. You are safe. You don't have to talk to her. Who IRL can you reach out to today?
