Sometimes it works usually the only way is to get...
So Ive been off now fo 3 weeks. Afternoons are not good, but my question is I have such graphic nightmares, my wife has to bring me down. Any suggestions that are not drug taking. I dont ever want the withdrawal again it was hell.

So I have a middle child that has mental issues we are working it out very slowly, dinner time no matter how many breaths ends up in a big verbal brawl. ( usually directed at me I have learned to shut the f**** up.) It continues.. His hatred to me is so strong , it hurts me so deep so friggen...
So I survived satanic ritual abuse. It happened beetween 5 and 7 yes old.
Right now I wish I didn't survive I'm haunted every day. My shame button is the size of a dinner table I would so love peace so I could be useful to my wife and kids.
