I appreciate the rules - it makes this a more safe place to be. I appreciate the effort so many make to keep this as safe as possible. Rules give parameters without which this forum could never be helpful. PTSD is difficult enough and we all deal with it in one way or another. We all do well to...

One more of the boy.

My pup is almost 6 months old and now weights 52 pounds. He is making me crazy but I love the "little" brat.

Christmas always seems to be a tough time for me. Just too many emotions and memories for me to manage. I think expectations run high for many and that just makes it a stressful time of year. This year there were almost no expectations so the season was a little better - I am just ready for it...

I went to a movie this morning. The early morning theaters are pretty empty and cost much less. The movie was a good couple of hours of pure escapism.

Happy Birthday, Anthony!!

Glad Max is healing and even happier you have help! Hugs to you and yours.

Wonderful news!! The best Christmas present ever! Enjoy some relaxation!!

I like that idea. I may need to buy a spray bottle. My crazy dog is sure to hurt himself sooner or later. He is so clueless sometimes! Good luck and continued healing for Max!!

(((KP and Max))) I am glad at least Max is feeling good. That has to be a good thing. Good luck with the cleaning. Ugh... I am terrible at those kinds of things. Prayers for both of you!!

Can't wait to see pictures of your new little chicks! Good luck!

Nice!! You done a good thing! Now, let yourself feel good about it, smile and breathe.

Isn't a drag when the inner-child that never got to be a child, decides it needs to appear at the oddest of times? Mine appears whenever I get stressed. Suddenly I worry about all kinds of things the adult in me says "Whatever." Christmastime is famous for that child to emerge! (((Rain)))

Oh, the things we share on this forum... :speechless:

I'll add my 2 cents - I agree with Deb and Simplekindof girl. Do what your heart says. What can you live with? If you will feel guilty, send something simple and then let it go. You cannot choose her reaction, only yours. If you feel you need to give something, do it for you. Not for her. If you...

I hope all goes well for the pooch!! Hugs and healing thoughts for all of you!!

Woke up this morning with that silly dog's head on top of mine. He was sound asleep. Sweet right now but it is going to be a problem when he is 80+ pounds...

I am SO glad he is OK! Stupid dog or not, I know he loves you and that is priceless. I hope you get to see your daughter soon! Hugs.

Prayers for you and Max! (((KP and Max)))

I spent a couple of nights in the hospital the first of this week (virus - ugh!) and a friend took care of my 5 month old German Shepherd puppy. Since we both got home, he can't stand being far from me. The first night back, he couldn't sleep close enough to me. Yes, he sleeps with me. Spoiled...

((Welcome Home)) Glad you had an awesome trip and returned safely! Wish I could have made the trip down from Boston!

Oh my goodness! So much of this thread could have been written by me. Was trained to be compliant from birth and I am sure that was part of why I was singled out to be abused later. I was isolated within my family. My siblings were asked why they weren't more like me and nothing I did was ever...

((Loloma)) I am there, too. It stinks. Feeling alone, hurt, betrayed, and anxious. Hands shaking, chest pain, muscle aches. Feeling crummy.

I know this has been said before but... When you nearly jump through the ceiling when a store clerk comes up behind you and asks if you need help. Did that today and the clerk said he even tried to say something from a distance so he wouldn't scare me and I scared him by my reaction. We both had...

Oh heavens! That would be my spouse (becoming an ex spouse in the next year...). He does/did about all of those!! No wonder I feel so beaten and abused!!
