@Ice_Fire Good advice. , He suspects there are things I haven't told him. He doesn't know I have PTSD either, but like you said, he has probably already figured out that I have had sexual traumas. I there is an option not to be have sex with him. Its just that I feel like it would be unfair to...

I have never really told my partner about the abuse. He knows I was in a physically abusive relationship but not to what extent. He doesn't know that I have been sexually abused as well. We have been together for a few years now and I know he thinks there is something 'wrong' with me. I try to...

Welcome ( :

@Lucycat I just wanted to clarify that my comments here weren't directed at you. Nor did I take offence to what you said. My words were directed at some of the other replies. I was upset because of negative things I've read or heard about breastfeeding lately. After reading some comments here I...

Coolcat. Your request was simple and not unreasonable. It must have been very difficult for you to explain your situation only to have them be so nonchalant. I'm sure a lot of people would not have had the courage to ask for compassionate consideration like you did. You are probably right, that...

Yes. This happened last night and the pain was so real. As if it were really happening again.

I don't have the answer but I think that your having PTSD would be something taken into consideration. No differently than any other medical condition. I imagine if your symptoms were well managed and you were doing all the right things such as seeking help when needed and living a healthy life...

Hello and welcome. Im sure you will find lots of support and understanding here. I have a long term injury too. Your health and well being should be a priority to both you and your partner. I would be upset in your position too.

Welcome

Hello and welcome

I am starting to think I may have a dissociation disorder. I will be seeking professional advice about this but for the mean time I have a few questions that hopefully someone here can help me with. For years I have been dissociating excessively, some days I think I am 'gone' more than I am...

I just realised how incredibly lonely I am. I have friends, family and children at home. There are people in my life surrounding me all the time but at the end of the day they live in a different world. I feel like I am looking out of a glass window at the world. I've always felt this way for as...

I am so happy for you. May little Sheba rest in peace.

That is horrible. I understand why it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Good question. My son has a high IQ and is a very deep thinker. He is also a deeply sensitive person. I think it does provide extra challenges. He is young at the moment but I worry about him later in life. For him it was about finding a therapist that he could have a meaningful conversation...

@AngelkeeperJ/AKJ Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. I had Goosebumps and tears in my eyes. ETA: I'm so glad that you could breastfeed with your children. No doubt that breastfeeding would have been even extra beneficial to your second child. My daughter was sick for a while and the...

Firstly breastfeeding is not a choice. Breastfeeding is the normal way for a baby to eat. Human milk is a babies life support system after birth and for the first 12 months (or longer). There is no other substitute that even comes close to human milk for babies. Using an infant formula is a...

I think it is weird how people mistake breasts as sexual objects.

Oh I am glad you had a good nights sleep. Must try this too!

I am starting to get some energy back

This is probably an obvious question but have you had him checked for medical (physical) causes?

Congratulations Ms Spock

Glad to know that you are making such great progress. I LOVE the quote!

Woundedscribe, don't doubt yourself. Although holding the watch was difficult, I think you would have run away and tired to forget about it if you weren't ready. What you did was stay and face your fears instead. Well done and congratulations on taking such a huge step. This watch is obviously...

Yes this is what I want!
