Thanks for your words @Intrepid You I can @Karen12 I will write him a letter.

It could be to do with his PTSD, it could be he's not interested or he could just be a douchebag. I hope you get the closure you seek soon. Living next door to him wouldn't help.

I hope for a just outcome.

I had an argument with my last night. Whenever we have any kind of disagreement I panic and end up being unable to say anything or I walk out. Our problems are rarely resolved and we both get frustrated by the same issues reoccurring. Last night was no different except that he was so...

I hate them too. I prefer not to discuss my history with the doctor before hand as it seems to increase the anticipation for me. I would rather not make any kind of deal out of it and just get through it and leave. For me the anticipation and the aftermath are the worst parts. My friend is a...

Welcome Jenelle :)

@Larksong I would want my supporter to disguss his / her feelings with me. The best time to do this would be when im calm and relaxed.

I'm a sufferer and I do this. Some days I'm extra vigilant and even the slightest sound or touch is more than I can cope with. Anything else on top of that is going to throw me over. It doesn't feel like making a mountain out of mole hill to me but my partner thinks I am. When I do feel I've...

We always went away for Christmas to my grandparents house. All of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins would squeeze into our grandparents house on Christmas eve. There would be beds made up on the floor which we had to step over. On Christmas morning the living room would be filled to the brim with...

I tend to lose a lot of weight when under stress and can't eat anything. I've always been just a bit over weight so it usually goes back on naturally when things are going more smoothly. I'm happy to join you. I would like to know how other manage to eat when they have no appetite.

If your shame is around the stereotypes placed on the poor forget about it. People only judge because they don't understand your story. They try to compare it with their own. They look on the surface and fill the gaps with what they believe to be true. Is your shame around continuing to be...

Hi Lukie, Welcome. You have every right to feel the way you do. Neither you or your daughter deserved what happened to you both. I'm so glad that your daughter is doing so well. I hope that therapy is beneficial for you both.

@livingwiththis Now I see what you meant. Its a shame your husband doesn't understand. Mine probably wouldn't either. Hope you start to feel yourself again soon.

Oh that's horrible. I had an internal ultrasound once too. I had also been assaulted earlier that day. It was really is awful and invasive. It sounds like you have a pretty serious infection and defiantly shouldn't go back to work until you are recovered. Especially since you have such a...

What do you like most about yourself @Cool Cat? What are you good at? Maybe you could write of things you do well. Adding to it and rereading every day.

I think the intent was good but poorly executed.

I don't think it is weird at all. What you wrote in the above paragraph sounds like a metaphor (I know its not meant to be) but it pretty much sums up how I feel about death.

I once read an article that said to always assume you are good enough unless you have evidence to say otherwise. It takes some practice but is a good attitude to adopt. We are often our own harshest critics.

@sun seeker I wondered that about dental cavities too. They have always been a problem for me. High levels of stress would have to reduce the immune system. Which could explain increased risk of cavities and infection in the mouth. I've broken my tailbone a few times. The first was 10 years ago...

As a child I often witnessed severe neglect, physical and emotional abuse from a family friend toward her children. My Mother knew it was happening but she never reported it. She even went to court in support of the friend during a custody battle. It was obvious to me that despite the choices...

Are you asking why victims stay silent or bystanders? I think victims often stay silent because they are afraid to confront their abusers. They feel small and powerless and fear the reaction the abuser will have. Then there is the painful emotional backlash of actually telling someone what...

Sympathy for he tooth ache @Little Flower. I hope that you are able to find the courage to have it sorted out soon as infection is bad news. I get a lot of muscular aches and pains in my back, face and head. Not sure if that is from my PTSD. At night I clench my jaw a lot and cant seem to relax...

I'm really sorry about what you are going through. If one of my children were molested I'd be distraught and probably want to cut the offenders fingers off too. But having been on the other side and only ever confiding in one person I don't think I could bare it if it came out now. Any...
