Such a beautiful reply. Maybe growing herbs like mint and dill will get you back into plants. When yo...

Agreed! I have a couple garden in a can kits hat grow basil and cilantro. They're organic and include self regulating soil, so that you can grow them inside all year with no risk of messy dishes. I got them for only $4 each.

I love flowers, luckily my abusive ex didn't give me many. Can ,you accept that there will be some sadness but in time these feelings will be less intense. You will have processed more of the emotions, and will start to enjoy flowers and their beauty. It's not the flowers fault that he is an "put in your own degrading name for him", and he didn't appreciate what a great and valuable person you are, but he is not a flower, he is a weed that you pulled out in your beautiful balcony garden.

Basil is an awesome protection herb, so that's brilliant. Sage is another good one for ptsders for keeping away evil spirits and cleansing home spaces. Not much space required but a great way to stick you toe in with plants:)

My abuser is a biologyst. He loved so much flowers and plants and animals (funny,huh?). Well the problem is...

I know exactly how you feel. An abuser will automatically take everything away from you that you love the most. I am entering in a career field that reminds me of my abusers as well, but nevertheless I will go my own way, full well realizing that their illegal ways will trigger me for a very long time.
