I understand how you feel. I am a single mother of 3 teenage girls. I often lock myself in the bathroom so they don't see me cry. I have woke them several times from reliving my past in my dreams and start screaming and crying. All I can tell them is that I had a nightmare. From my experience I...

Still feeling awful and kids coming home soon, so time to put back on my fake it till I make it smile. I hope I can make it until Tuesday night for my therapy appointment. Also hoping I feel better and not worse after my appointment.

Thank you all for your words. I don't feel so alone. I will work on all your suggestions, and yes I will talk to my therapist about her words. I don't want more pain added onto what I am already trying to deal with. I am so glad I found this site!!
