    World Gratitude Day 9.21.19 What are you grateful for?

    My new family. They have treated me as if I have always been there and I belong. For once I truly feel loved. My kids. My home. There are plenty of people without one. Food. Same as above. Health. Again, same as above. The fact that I'm learning that I have more control over my life...

    Poll Optimism

    Before I got this fun disorder a girl I worked with used to say " you always see the best in people, don't you?" as if it's a flaw. Now I don't do that. Now seeing the bad is set to default.

    Childhood Child on child sexual abuse (COCSA)?

    A six year old boy performaned oral on my cousin when he was also six and his brother walked in on it. The boy performing it obviously didn't know what he was doing but it didn't change what happened to my cousin.I agree with @flowerapple. Please get help regardless of the label.

    Childhood Child on child sexual abuse (COCSA)?

    I don't know that a second grader ( or a fourth graders for that matter) has the capacity to know that that is wrong ( a second grader isn't exactly a "guy"). What I do think is that those children had that done to THEM and was doing what they were taught to other kids. Are you in therapy?

    General Serious Police Activity in the News Where My Ex Lives...

    Are you in therapy? I don't mean this to sound harsh but... Didn't you break up with him because he wouldn't text you back? Why would he change that when he's not with you? Or Did I read that wrong?

    Have you come out on your PTSD?

    Only a few people in my life know. I have a hard enough saying I have it much less telling everybody. The only people that know are the people it effects the most and some of them I wish I never told.

    Do you tell your Therapist about this site?

    Yes and that was when I first joined. I mention it on occasion and she doesn't really say alot about it one way or another.

    Dom Violence When do you stop looking over your shoulder?

    Is your therapist a trauma therapist? I don't think it's strange at all. You stop looking when you are ready to stop looking. At least that's how I feel about it.

    You're not being annoying or argumentative at all.

    Sexual Assault Unsure how to define this - 2 years of um coerced sex

    I'm just going to say it like this. Who cares what anybody else thinks. If you love her you love her and that's your business alone. It doesn't matter what anybody else says. You know her as a person, nobody here does. You don't owe an explanation.

    What should I expect from therapy?

    That was incredibly helpful. Thank you. I am not used to being the one to be in charge in these types of situations so it scares me. Just the idea of bringing it up to her worries me. But I think I can ask her "hey is it ok with you if we work on x,y or z?".

    Dry. It's not rained in a while. It's been in the mid 90s all week. I'm tired of it.

    What should I expect from therapy?

    You all are probably right. She tried to do exposure early on the first time I saw her and I bailed. She's probably trying to keep that from happening again.

    What should I expect from therapy?

    Every week it's the same thing. "how are you and what's going on?". Alot of the time we don't talk about me but about my kids or other things in my life. Is that normal or is there specific stuff I'm supposed to be doing? Am I just giving myself an excuse to quit?

    Childhood Naming CSA triggers

    We only take our dogs off the leash when we know there will be nobody else around. Otherwise they stay on. Our older dog actually got hurt chasing a deer while running. She tore her ACL and at her age we won't get it fixed ( it's not severely painful like in people but it causes a limp)

    Piecing things together

    Hurt people hurt people ( I know that's cliche but...) It's not your job to fix him. It is entirely possible to fix a marriage from your side. It's also possible to change your way of seeing things. But you can't fix him.
