You sure like to follow me around and cry narcissism. ;) No problem. I understand you're at a different healing place as well.

I'm better than my abusers and so are you. There's nothing wrong with saying so. It's incredibly healing. Try it Solara! :)

Exactly! Truly abusive people use it as a means to abuse you again. If any of my abusers approached me and "said" they're sorry. I would agree with them. Yes..they are a sorry lot! They're stupid in the fact they think I or anyone else would actually believe them. They're stupid in the fact...

There's a thread in this forum. Basically it's the level of life felt after trauma. Positive feelings that trump anything that happened to you. It's beautiful! :joyful:

Do you believe they are capable in any shape form or fashion of giving an apology?

What value do you have for PTGrowth?

Excuse me. How is my determination to overcome PTS symptoms in anyway associated with narcissism?

At the end of the day how do you feel about your abusers? Do you believe they're intelligent or ignorant? Or dangerously stupid? Through the years I've felt many ways toward my abusers. Bewildered hurt sad angry you name it. As a child I learned to separate me from them. "The crazy ones." LOL I...

Once again Solara you miss the point. Perhaps you have never faced evil. I can't say I don't know you. I do know if you have you would understand there is no such thing as an apology for evil. And if by chance you have and for reasons unknown giving them a second chance.. I sincerely hope you...

Indeed. We all want to be loved and understood. I was a sad little girl who desperately needed validation. Somewhere along my way I learned I wasn't going to get it from my dysfunctional family. The only validation I was going to get was going to come from me. And God. :)

Yes. It feels like a mini earthquake inside! I had the same symptoms before my flood of memories. It was very confusing. I'm happy-go-lucky and then out of nowhere terrible vision and the shakes feeling faint of heart. I can laugh now..but I actually went to an eye doctor. I thought my eyesight...

There's no cure for the common cold. Doesn't make it a lifelong problem. When your core is strong enough to understand you are and always have been better than those who tried to drag you down. You're cured!!

People who spout nonsense like that don't understand basic math. Don't concern yourself with their flawed thinking. Blame. The word should be banished from the dictionary. Don't concern yourself with the ramblings of idiots. Next time say... God gives his best warriors the greatest battles...

I don't feel it's about forgiveness at all. Seriously..can any of you remotely consider think or feel you would ever accept an apology from your abusers? After all that..eh? Personally I would laugh if they tried. :D Besides it would only further prove they're idiots! LOL That's the Brightside...

Great article! The potential for growth comes not from the trauma itself but from the struggle to make sense of it. There it is. And an indomitable sense of optimism. :)

Yes! :joyful:

~Love me some Nelson Mandela! Why do you believe that set him off?

Oppression is oppression. Entire countries can suffer an identity crisis too. Look what happened to the Persian Empire. Hijacked/slaughtered by religion. Stockholm and PTSD are still present today. Google Iran. Civilized countries have the problem narrowed down to basic family units. I find it...

HimOrMe..sounds like both. You've met your match!

His analogy is the scapegoat is the weakest link. Neither being good or bad. He gives zero thought between good and evil. In other words...he cannot distinguish we are different from animals.

His theory is only the strong survive. Very flawed theory. And shallow at that. It's not entirely about strength and wit. The dinosaur was wiped out by an asteroid. The human spirit's driving force is good and evil. That's why we are human. Humans are the only species on earth who kill for no...

Yes. Nothing is "wrong." I believe accepting or "letting go" is key. However there's much more to it. I've suffered PTS my entire life. Most of my memories were repressed. I still had symptoms. Symptoms without memories. My recent flood of memories opened the floodgates to understanding my...

Agreed. Most of my childhood was blocked as well. Being able to look back and understand why we do the things we do is highly rewarding. Freeing yourself from trauma has beautiful results. Bloom where you are planted! :joyful:

Thank you for your service! As PTS survivors we must try. Frustrate me? No. Healing. Yes. My siblings fell victim to the dysfunction around them. They are truly ignorant. There's no hope for them. Regardless I have hope for humanity. Imagine a world where everyone understands PTS. Imagine...

Thank you Anthony! I thought he was being sarcastic at first. Until I saw he was serious. Moi. Weak? Oh does he have much to learn! :) He's a long time friend and my PTS awareness mission begins with ...him. LOL
