    Ptsd And Having A Relationship

    The right guy will be interested in you for you. I had a male friend who was willing to be patient with me and work through things with me. Even holding me naked with him and crying so hard the first time I tried with him. He went away to college and came back every summer and we tried again...

    Two Years Sober

    To wake up another year later on this day is an accomplishment. My family went away with my mom in law and husbands family. Before they left they said not to do anything stupid. I dont think they remember that this was the day I quit drinking, and the day they could have found me out in the...

And to stand up to him and let the repair man know he cant come in till Hank says he can. Brave...

    Fear At Night When Home Alone

    Hmm I dont ever remember sucking my thumb as a child. Wouldnt be surprised if the habbit was beaten out of me like chewing my nails. Whatever gets you through the night. It sucks to not feel safe, wishing you both sweet dreams...(walks off to sleep with stuffed kitty and a puppy print...

    News Clinton Vs Trump

    Exactly. Lets just scrap this election and start over. Vote everyone off and do over. Personally I dont want eiether of them, nor do I honestly like eiether of them as a human being in general. And with all of the hate speech, I would not be suprised if one of trumps supporters went after...

    This Is Just To Say

    This is just to say I have abandoned you just when you decided you want a relationship with me. I know understanding of why will never smack you accross the face as you have smacked me in such a way over the years. Forgive me for choosing to stay away as the only way to give you any shred of...

    when your T discusses making a contract governing your behavior for the week that the rest of your family is on vacation. When you disaster prep for that week : arrange people to call, non alcoholic drinks, plan a schedule for the days because well lets face it you dont trust yourself alone.

    DID Creating another "part"

    no you are ok. nothing to be sorry for, you are reaching out. Your most self destructive part is in pain and taking the end it all approach. Been there , so find what appeals to her. If shes such a bad*ss rebel, I'd dare her to do the most bad*ss thing possible which is deciding to...

    DID Introducing my parts..where have you been?

    for me switching has become more of a constant flow. I am just trying to function as a "functional we". (as opposed to a functional WII ;) ) at first freaked me out being split and my husband asking who I was. Didnt loose time eiether, and had conversations with the ones I identified. Keep...

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    when you think grocery shopping with @Cashew would be an interesting experience since those things are on my grocery list too. When you go to appointment with new prescriber, give her the "highlights" of the experiences that gave you ptsd and she says she is happy for me that I no longer live...

    Sometimes No Contact Is Kindness

    @City Slicker that is where she is. trying to make sense of her cold uncaring daughter. yep ironic, but like yours it gives her focus. Sad that even absence only makes her search out a new source of pity to feed on. she wont get to the "f - this, I need to get out of here" point. I can...

    Sometimes No Contact Is Kindness

    @ladee hmm I had not thought of this as a form of forgiving. Just a realization that going over things would do more harm and split our family apart. I choose to do no harm and if sticking to that choice is a form of forgiveness its the only way I can I guess. Kindness is walking away and...

    Sometimes No Contact Is Kindness

    I am pretty much wanting to stay no contact with my mother and step father. Its not out of spite, anger, revenge etc. Its partly fear since they both beat me as a kid and some other things. And partly that my mother will and always has wanted me to fill the hole in her of the kind of mother...

    News Donald Trump's Popularity To Date

    @Justmehere this election just needs a loud hawaiian shirt, 2016 eyeglasses with spring attached eyeballs, a coconut bra, neon socks with banannas on them, old man sandals, and an oddly colored sombrero with a propeller on it just to look classy. (apoligies to anyone who may actually go out...
