Quang, That's pretty much how it had happened with me as well. I thought my life was under control and after my parents passed away, my life fell apart. It started falling apart after I lost my mother and then got even worse after I lost my father. I pray one day we will find that normalcy...

My PTSD didn't truly present itself until after my Mother passed away 3 years ago and after my Father passed away this past February, my world completely caved in. I had held things in from the age of three until I was 18 and never fully told the story to anyone. Then I had one trauma right...

I definitely spend more time talking to my dog than I do anybody else because most of the time I'm here alone. He's all that I have to talk to normally. He gives me these funny looks at times like he definitely knows every word that I'm saying.

I most definitely will post more about my EMDR sessions as time goes on. My next appointment is Tuesday so it may take a few days after before I post anything. I'm hoping that I will continue to have a positive outcome with it. Best wishes and hugs to you Ann!

Don't forget to add that our police officers are supposed to make arrests in Domestic Violence situations, however, they didn't back in 1989 when my first ex tried to kill me numerous times.I finally quit calling them. Nor was an arrest made when my youngest daughter's ex boyfriend tried to kill...

Thank you Missycat. I have been away for several days. Had a lot going on. I was just curious! Thanks again! I hope all is well with you! Hugs

Hi Mim28! I've been away for a little while now. What happened to chat if you don't mind me asking?

Hi LoneWolf! I love the name! Welcome to you as well! I'm sorry for your loss as well. Yes, my childhood was definitely a struggle and it seems I was a magnet for some real losers but I was determined to survive. My parents used to also drink heavily when I was younger. I guess that's why nobody...

Thank you very much Pixel! I appreciate your warm welcome! This is definitely a resource that I hope to use much more than I have been. So far I have definitely found it to be quite welcoming and helpful to know that everyone here is supportive and understands. Hugs!

This is all so very true! Very well said as well! Too many times people threw red flags out there that there was something going on with me. Nobody did anything about it. They would ask but I had been threatened and couldn't tell anyone anything. I held it in until I was 18 and it started at age...

Thank you very much Eve! :)

You are very welcome! (((HUGS))))

I spend most of my time alone because my husband is military and gone most of the time. Loneliness gets old though. I've found it hard to connect with people and the strange thing about it is that I used to make friends easily but then realized that I was a friend to them but they weren't even...

I definitely feel your pain! I've been able to cope with this on my own for 45 years and now I can't. I just want you to know that you aren't alone. Let your little one be your lifeline. They will need you as time goes on...trust me. I have two grown daughters and two grown step children. Our...

Thank you LostInCPTSD! We are survivors! I have to keep reminding myself of that! Life has definitely been a living hell at times but I always tried to turn the bad into something good to help others whenever possible! You hang in there and may God bless and keep you as well!
