It seems there are so many of us that has been abused, molested, and/or raped. That all was my life for more than half of it.

I thought that just acknowledging that it happened was dealing with it. I learned something about my childhood less than 5 years ago. Everything came flooding back, like flashes before my eyes.

I was diagnosed with PTSD because of nightmares I was having because of the abusive relationships I had been in, the repeated daily rape from my own husband, and the molestation of my children by their father.

I thought I had it pushed so far down that nothing bothered me. I fell down some steps 7 years ago and broke some ribs. The next morning. It all came flooding back. I couldn't walk. I couldn't even put words together. If it wasn't for my roommate being there no one would have figured it out.

If you can find just something to put your mind on for just a few minutes. That's a few minutes you didn't have before. Then before you know it you'll be able to have longer times with no anxiety.
I am always here when you need me. If I have to sit up all night with you I can do that. You have joined a good team here. We are all here for each other.

Hugs and kisses
