Good thread! We can all relate, I'm sure! I went to Wal-Mart yesterday (my daughter bought me some stuff). I always ground myself and tell my companions to breath and ground before entering. I also make it a point to look at people. I smile at them a lot and sometimes say Happy Holidays...

Whew, reading all this stuff is a lot! I'm here to honor the girl who went through the abuse and healed. I also had an icky nightmare after years of not. I too was going to commit suicide and did not because of my child. Went to the hospital instead. Good thing for my daughter as her Dad did it...

You absolutely can heal without the abuser's remorse! I did! I bet a lot of others here did too. What worked for me in the beginning was a good counselor. I couldn't tell reality from not reality sometimes! But my counselor was an angel and helped me so much! You will find angels on your way...

But, I still honor the girl who lived through all the abuse. I let the art come out and play. I buy bubbles. I buy silly kid...
