Funny thing, wanted to be a nun - got to play the part in a movie - "Number One With the Bullet" But, I have always wanted to be a writer and entertainer, since childhood. Worked for a magazine in Fl., then I went full out news reporter. Moved up to publisher/editor. No where else to go after...

Welcome aboard Tas, as a victim of rape, (twice) and child molestation (cousin) it takes sexual healing and, that can be a slow, painful, embarrassing process; especially when betrayed by someone (her ex-) who supposedly loves you. When your wife told you about the rape, it was natural to block...

You make a very good point ronin47, you had the knowledge of your history to toss the pills away, and to know your body - what it doesn't want.

For two years I didn't smoke pot. I took my meds, but other health issues began to surface. Too many pills for too many ailments, (degenerative joints, ruptured discs, broken bones that healed without medical attention and other crap),causing problems with my stomach, appetite and not good for...

Angus, in the time of such despair, those of us who are trapped in our emotions are 'betting' those who love us will not walk away but, take us with them. Your wife might be pushing you away because she does love you but afraid to take you where her thoughts travel. Her perceived conclusion may...

It helps others to become more aware. I had an episode at a gas station ... talking to myself, upset cause I couldn't find a pay phone .. I realized others were staring... I laughed and said, "Did I swear out-loud?" Then explained I had a trigger go off due to PTSD and briefly explained what...

Very true Muse, I go in spurts at times... going for comedy tonight...

While watching the Watchmen movie with my best friend, a scene where he boils the inmates face in oil triggered a memory - long forgotten. Shortly after my first husband (who was gay) put a knife to my throat, he moved out and I was left running the Yucca Motel in Hollywood, Ca., there was a...

Hold on indeed you will. Get what you need and the courage to tell them off will come later. YaYa sister!

Hey there! MissAntisunshine, it's been a rough ride huh? Sometimes hearing yourself talk out-loud is a good rehearsal - it makes saying the words to another person, easier. And, in my humble opinion you can't let sleeping dogs lie because the issue is unresolved. The family's refusal to admit...

Firstborn of five -

What I'm leaning towards is when tragic events occur to people they have premonition dreams and that their 'strong intuition' is a form of self-preservation. I have been having these dreams and intuitions for over 50 years with proven results. I was warned of the deaths of both of my husbands...

For some reason with each traumatic event I've endured I have developed certain 'gifts' such as warnings in dreams of things to come, the phone rings and I can tell if it's a bill collector calling or the all is for someone else and I say, "it's for you." I also pick up thoughts. It's weird...

Despite being beaten, waking to a gun at my temple, kidnapped and sexual abused, witnessing the shooting death of my husband, being chased by a hooker with a butcher knife because I was trying to evict her; etc., etc., etc! Yes, there's more I could add to this casualty list from my life living...

Funny, just the other day I was in the bank and a customer was ranting on about with his political opinion to the poor teller who dutifully stood there and finally smiled, saying ... "Nobody is interested in my opinion." The man left I smiled and said, "Your opinion means something to...

That is a major step. Knock 'em dead with personality and brains! Congrats...

There are those whose lives have been shattered into slivered pieces of emotional glass, the 'Broken People,' picking up the pieces of their emotional demise. Each broken piece is only a part of the puzzle reflecting a mere glimpse of what was lost; the light which shined in places where...

I am very thankful to know the difference between what is important and what isn't. As I am equally thankful for another day to be alive whether it is a bad day or a good day; "I would stand in line for this."

Hi rtk, hope you find the support you need to get through this. Maybe put a special cd together with positive songs he can listen too in the car, and maybe a list of projects for you he can do when he is alone. Dance the blues away in the quiet times, just suggestions to change the thinking...

Thank you Reclusive, thought it might bring a smile. We all need to lean on someone but it is a problem for us who are stronger because of trauma. Everybody does believe we are capable and tough, that we need no one. But I told my family, you lean on me and ask my advice and yet, who is there...

Are you sure 'after' a divorce ... she would not hurt herself would she?

Way to go! See, positive minds working alike....

Angus, write her a poem about how you miss her touch... you don't have to be a pro to write prose. It just has to come from your heart... Give her something she can hold in her hands, read with her eyes 'how' much you love her and stand by her. She can reread until it sinks in and she is free...

Feeling much better, today, Reclusive. You were right, it was a battle that lasted through the weekend then I figured it out and got it out. Life is good and I'm feeling secure about my decision to give in and be loved, cared for emotionally. Despite the age difference between my live-in...

So many things have gone wrong. Very curious piece.
