You are part of this club and certainly not alone in that regard. Nothing good about it, for sure. I utterly fail to understand how a parent of any child is able to abuse a child in any way at all. I am 66 and separated from my wife of 44 years as of March this year. We are still sorting out...

What goes around comes around. I just had excellent news this morning. I have been 100 percent approved for fully paid treatment of my Hep C at my meeting and test with the clinic doctor this am. That is fully paid to the tune of at least $56,000 and may be even higher. I tend to believe in the...

I am very happy to hear that. To me that seems like a good sign, both at our level and maybe even from God. And, when good things happen it makes more good things happen. That is how our minds work. Good leads to better. Thank you so much for letting me know.

I did go to church this morning. It is the one place where I can trust everybody even if I have never met them before. I did pray as I said I would. Going to church has been more helpful for me than any of the therapy I have been getting. It also helps that the minister there today is a retired...

I can tell you one thing that you very likely can count on. I very much doubt he is cheating on you. He likes you a lot, even loves you is my guess from what you have written. You also are not the problem. In most with this type of PTSD (much like mine it sounds) what he wants the most is to not...

I hate giving such advice but it is a matter of reality. Once the brain get screwed up like this it tends to stay that way. I have been on and off all my life but never anything as bad as now. I could very easily get highly POed at various people but that doesn't solve anything. I figured that...

I am in full isolation myself right now. I am even having to push myself hard to get on here and make this post. I don't want to see or talk to anybody longer than it takes to pay for my groceries. My wife left me a little over half a year ago because she couldn't handle it any more and in the...

I wish I could give some help as far as medical coverage goes but it is very different here. While our is not "free" as so many people out of Canada think it also isn't expensive. It does however have its own problems such as having less than one tenth the MRI machines that we need compared to...

Welcome here. This is the place to find help. I have PTSD but that is not what I am going to speak about. I had an excellent job for 23 years. I finally had to quit in 1998 because of serious medical problems. Nobody was able to diagnose what was wrong so I wasn't able to qualify for long term...

My first real vaginal penetration sex was rape. I was raped by a married woman as I was waking up in the morning with the usual erection that guys have at age 16. I didn't want it. I hated what she did to me. It totally destroyed the plan my girlfriend and I had to give up our virginity to each...

No sweat Joey, as I said there is no such thing as international copyright and I am in Canada. It's a small world now but it still has borders. I don't really care which is why I always put up my images as public domain. If I don't want them taken and used I don't put them up. The internet is...

Justmehere, It sounds like you have made some real improvements in your self. You are setting an example for me to follow in some respects. I do know that if I were to find myself in any sort of similar situation as you did I would never trust the people involved again. But, that is me and even...

In the "Legal Policy... Terms of use" for myptsd it states: "Once you post it (text only), it belongs forever and becomes copyright MyPTSD." While this appears to transfer copyright to myptsd this will not hold in court. For it to hold it isn't sufficient to simply press a "post" button. It...

Hey, I am an asperger type. That is how we approach things. I have learned to hide it a lot of the time but not always. ;-) I should point out that when I write something like that it isn't just a reply to you. It is general info for anybody that might read it. Also, that wasn't for you, it was...

Actually, the material on this site that is written by the members belongs to the members, not the site. Copyright law automatically grants full copyright to anyone that creates content. There is no need for it to be registered and it is not necessary to state that something is under copyright...

@stillstanding2 : I understand exactly what you are suggesting. It can be done as you suggest but it can also be very difficult to deal with at a personal level. I am in a situation where I might decide to take my case from earlier this year to a very high level. However, time is an enemy in...

Welcome here. You will not find yourself alone here. We are all here because we have in some way been a part of the bad side of this world. Many as those abused and/or faced with death and also as those trying to help us. One of the most common parts of the abuse side is it happening when young...

Yep, when you are right then don't back down. Most government agencies, corporations and even some religious organizations depend on people giving up even when right is on the side of the person they are shafting. Maybe I should say "especially" when the shaftee is in the right. This is where...

Yes indeed. I was in a very similar situation for about four years. I spent that long dealing with the primary federal government agency here that is responsible for disability payment approval. They did everything possible to deny me my legal rights. It went as far as lawyers on their side...

Very interesting thread this is. I was very badly physically abused by my father with the first I remember being broken shoulder bones at age two. What I have been hiding from myself for some 60 years now is the sexual abuse by his mother, my natural grandmother. Then, early this year I ended up...

People hurting children is the only thing that triggers me into full anger and fight response. Everything else generates my flight response and If I cannot flee then I begin to cry nearly immediately. I was abused by my father and both of my grandmothers, both violence and sex, although not both...

Wow! This thread is really mixing up some concepts that do not belong together. Nudity is a normal human condition and has nothing to do with pornography. Either can exist without the other and often do. I am curious, to the OP, does it bother you to look at nude artwork by the great masters of...

You sure have that right. I frequently now do not enter the address of the person (usually my ex wife) that I am sending an e-mail to. I also frequently do not use the reply function but create a fresh e-mail with only the parts I am replying about included. Then, once I have written whatever I...

JMH, You are very welcome. Happiness works both ways. The simple fact that you understand my distress and like my drawing helps me feel even better as does the fact that I may have in some way helped you. We can all help each other and that is always good for all of us. You are going to pull out...

JMH, You have done nothing wrong at all. This is not your fault and you have not caused the things that the other people involved in this have done. What they have done is very much wrong and the best thing for you to do right now is to go see a doctor and get the doctor's help for you. That is...
