I made my first donation. I'm so grateful for this resource. Thank you. Good luck to everyone in the raffle!

If it was positive you would sure know it! It swells up and itches like MAD Way to go doing icky things to take care of yourself properly BIG LOVE

yesterday was a tough day But today is AWESOME! This morning I found three four leaf shamrocks while I walked my dog. I ate an egg and went to work out at the gym. My weight is down and I'm loving working out - something new for me, I always hated it before! Got home and fetched my mail, which...

Woohoo!!! So great to hear you're doing well :) One step at a time gets us there! BIG LOVE

Just remain pleasant through it all. If voices get raised, speak more softly. The quieter you speak the harder they have to listen, and this helps lower their anger during a conversation. Keep reminding them that you cared for the deceased during life, and that you love everyone in the family...

Even with the written notice, they have to file for an eviction at the court if you haven't left by their specified date. And the written notice should have a thirty day notice - I say do what is best for you and your baby, don't let their behavior affect how you feel - you're not doing...

I felt that sadness for a very long time after I left my ex. And I left for the same reason - to escape abuse, not because the love was no longer there - it's the absolute hardest thing to do! I applaud your strength. You are worth it! Take extra care of yourself during this difficult time BIG LOVE

Well I understand the running thing, that's my go to coping mechanism also. I deal with it one day at a time, every day I tell myself not to expect anything, just take it for today, and let tomorrow take care of itself... when I try to consider the future I get all freaked out and start...

I'm glad you talked to him! Now you can let it go and move forward BIG LOVE

:( I'm sorry you're struggling with this - I'm a little confused though, you said he is in therapy? Can you perhaps do a few sessions with him? Have you ever been in a long term relationship before?

Yes this is crazy behavior. You DO NOT have to leave when they tell you to!!! Especially since you are named as part owner in the will. Even if you were not named, they are required BY LAW to provide written notice to vacate, if you refuse they must file eviction proceedings, and once you're...

This is unacceptable, sounds to me like he's terrorizing you... my marriage was like this 24/7, and looking back I can see how he used my ptsd against me, gaslighting me and making me feel like it was all my fault, all the time, when in fact he was abusing me. Are you in therapy? If you are I...

I totally understand that survival is exhausting. Please take care of yourself, use your plan you created with your T BIG LOVE

Don't panic about these things - they are situational, you are a survivor! Contact your therapist and talk for awhile. Remember things WILL get better, but I understand it doesn't feel this way right now. BIG LOVE

Oh honey I'm so sorry! I know what you're going through. But please reach out, I survived a near successful attempt and I'm so glad I did - the only thing we can count on is change- that means the bad will get better. Please don't choose to hurt yourself. Seems like you're feeling like a burden...

Done

I have a B.F.A and use all media to create art. But right now I'm a quilter.

My abuser / father was a pastor. So yes, I despise religion.

It's a symptom of dissociation- we are simply not as aware of our bodies as we should be.

Extreme self care is next!!! I think you know her reaction to finding that others know of her abusive behavior- she will deny, she will blame you for creating lies, and you may well end up being further hurt. If the ex is stalking take extreme precautions- document everything and apply for a...

So I had a conversation with him last night about this, and carefully worded my statements as @One step at a time suggested. It was a good convo, went calmly. I learned that our relationship will remain as private as possible. Some things he said were a little disturbing, but I took it all in...

He will never be who he was before. PTSD is an actual physical change that happens in your body during times of extreme stress. His brain is literally different now. Practice extreme self care!

There is no deeper betrayal than not being protected by a parent that should be capable of doing so. I had many years of anger toward my mother, who blatantly refuses to "talk about things that never happened" But I know she also was damaged - she too was abused as a child, and is not strong...

I'm sorry his behavior was so upsetting. I think it's possible that he is having a lot of self doubt and can't help but misplace it on you? I hope you're able to talk to him about how it has negatively affected you, in a calm and reasonable way. It's not at all easy to deal with this sort of...
