How you doing today, Trib?

*Stands and applauds Michael.* Good job. I'm glad you stated who you are and what you believe. I am so proud of you. I believe you will find a good job that is perfect for you in the future. Keep on keeping on.

I've been married four times. However, the first time I married, I took a vow that it was until "death us do part" and I meant that. The second time I married to give a rape baby a last name. The third time was so I could have sex. Which also turned into a joke, since he was so shy and felt...

Hi Muse. I am sorry you decided to do this on your own. It is not something to work on by yourself. I'm glad your husband was willing to help you. A good trauma therapist can help a lot. They know how to process and work through what you went through so that "child" can heal and that means you...

After many years of therapy, my father called me and was going to be in town. He wanted to come stay with me. I told him I would book him a motel room, and he chose not to come. It was hard, because back then, I still wanted a relationship with him. In spite of everything that happened, there...

It's really a tough decision, isn't it. What type of boy/man is your son? I believe that can help you make your decision a bit easier. Is it a medical reason you need to tell him? Are you anxious that others might tell him, or are you and the father the only ones who know what really happened...

Best idea yet, Anthony. IMHO

Hi Jules, Welcome to the PTSD Forum. You are in a place where everyone understands, since we all either have PTSD or support those who do. There is alot of good information here. Take your time and look around. I personally suffer with PTSD from multiple traumas, starting in my youth. It...

I can so relate to what you are going through. Day before yesterday I met a man on the bus who started a conversation, and during that, he ask what I used to do for a living. When I told him I had been a legal secretary he ask if I could help him. He said, "It will only take a couple of...

That is wonderful, Pietro. I remember how starteling it is when you first make contact. I saw mine speak on film from my therapist's office. I was shocked. You called it correctly. You are now on your way to 100% healing. Don't rush it. Once you allow them to bring things to mind, they want to...

BB, I agree with Shell. I do hope you can find some peace in all this and get the help you need. I do hope she can get the help she needs as well. Individual therapy sounds like the right thing to do just now. Hang in there. Keep talking.

My mother had two girls before me, then died after I was born. So, I am the last born.

That's a good idea. And I agree, it is going to have to be small. It will be fun to see what Anthony finally comes up with. For me, a tree always represented family. The ones I drew growing up never had any roots, just lots of broken branches. But that was when I was younger.

I really like the tree idea. Starting with a branch with a leaf, representing the strength of coming to the site and posting. Adding leaves until that branch is full, then putting the base of the tree, etc, until you get a number of branches with leaves, then bigger, as it grows in height the...

http:// HI USMC-2531, Welcome to the PTSD Forum. Lots of good people here and on the sister site, mycombatptsd. See link above. I suffer with PTSD from multiple traumas. You will have a lot of support here. Nice to meet you.

John, it is good to be able to cry. It helps to clean out the system. I never cried until the night my children were kidnapped. Then, I couldn't stop crying. I grieved for 48 years for my babies. Every year on thanksgiving I cry 24 hours, then it is out of my system, and I can function again...

I am so happy for you, Sheila. Good news.

I believe that is you projecting what you wish was real. But the reality is not that they won't hurt you. I recommend you stay far away from them.

During the first break-in, even though my hands were being held over my head when i first work up, I tried to fight, and I am sure I got hurt worse than if I had just stayed quiet. For three days and nights they stayed, taking turns in what they did. As each of my alters kicked in, we all tried...

I feel as though this has been a very productive week. I got out of the house each day, and was able to do a lot of soul searching. Wonderful thoughts and feelings all week. A dear friend, who used to be a neighbor, who knows many of my alters, came over today, and we had a delightful afternoon.

Since he is not the biological father, he might not get it. Besides, she can argue that he might use that time to harm the girls just to get at her.

I recommend you move on with your life. Dating a person with PTSD requires a lot of patience, long suffering, and courage. Being married to one of us, requires bravery, long suffering, patience, courage, getting a therapist for yourself, and being willing to step up to the plate when you need...

HI awayhome06, Welcome to the PTSD Forum. You are going to find many good people here. As a person with PTSD from multiple traumas, I can share with you my thoughts on this. First, since he is moving in with her, let him know you don't want to hear his thoughts and feelings any longer. Let...
