Healing

[technomom]

I said this in a comment yesterday:
I work through things by writing about them. I find that doing so with feedback from others works best. And hell, the only way that anything good can come of this nastiness is for SOMEONE to learn from our mistakes.It's true

Three.

Dear Gods you are a strong woman.

If there are gods. The existence of monsters like that, and no one to protect small children from them, makes me doubt it sometimes.

Although it makes me want to believe in Hell.

I think the "no secrets, put it all out there" is part of healing from abuse. Abusers must have secrecy in which to operate.

"Don't tell anyone what goes on in this house!" That's my dad.

I tell. I have to tell. I don't want buried secrets. That's why almost all of my most raw, naked posts about PTSD and abuse are public.

And for the record: I deeply admire your honesty and courage. Pretending you've had a perfect life with Sam would be a mockery. But to love him and be working toward a lifetime together despite serious probelsm -- that's inspiring.
