No one wants to hear it, let you talk it out, cry etc. You know how you can heal but no one will listen for years and so many phone calls, prayers, reaching out, you are still with the abuser and continually being degraded for getting PTSD and being ill from his abuse. Everyone else left because you were considered worthless and ugly? God Bless you and I continue to search &amp; research, pray etc w/very little left. I pray constantly and cry to God for years for all of those suffering and that they will not suffer alone like I have as everyone left. Besides the abuser, I have been beat down by just about everyone else for years and still am. Thank you for your help and everyone else that is praying, posting, researching and trying to help those who suffer who want to remember what it like to just even sleep without the flashbacks. It&#39;s getting harder and harder to even remember what it was like and to be considered human but we are still and want to heal so we can help others. God Bless you, your family and everyone.

Nothing works for everyone. But something else might work for you, and, unfortunately the way things are now, you are the one who has to find it.<BR/>Thanks and welcome home.patience masonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00396609902249752438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104906156789221902.post-6551203492899802732007-11-03T16:27:00.000-05:002007-11-03T16:27:00.000-05:00I would advise care with this technique: recalling a traumatic event or series of events, for some--like myself--is problematic. Instead of alleviating the problem, it only serves to reinforce it. On the several times I have tried it, I spent months afterward in a heightened sense of panic: acutely attuned to all stimuli that triggered recollections of the original events. My life wore down to a bunker-like setting until I could slowly re-emerge into a semi-normal existence. Each of these attempts by well-meaning therapists only left me wounded more by the experience.Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16697740803405489778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104906156789221902.post-37971674165413694252007-05-05T19:38:00.000-05:002007-05-05T19:38:00.000-05:00Patience,<BR/><BR/>I too have found memoirs to be much more effective than just history books, especially in trying to understand what my husband has been through. I would like to thank you for blogging and to encourage you to keep it up...I am going to pass this post onto my husband, anything could help at this time. Thanks!Delalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02518216049466112093noreply@blogger.com
