[QUOTE="Star*, post: 317107, member: 4964"] Toto - 15 years of therapy ---THAT's what I kept thinking today....I thank the psychiatrist for EMDR and the ability to stop the flashbacks...because had it not been for that? I'm not quite sure what I'd be doing. All I know is that I'm remarkable calm....it's almost scary. Actually it IS scary - DF called twice and he said "Are you sure you're Okay? You sound remarkably...calm." I answered him almost like it was an annoying question "Yes fine...need to get back to work." and other than posting here and thinking about changing the number? Really hasn't rented space in my head. Neat huh? :winking: I worried that this day would come. We spoke to the therapist about it quite a while back and knew that there might be a someday or a day of reckoning for Dude and x. Thing is? Despite what x did to Dude there is still the curiosity to go. Therapist said it could go either way for Dude. It could help him get over that time/place in his head when horrible things happened at the hand of x....and he could confront x about it and be done with it....or he could forgive x and walk away from it all. Hard to tell. Toto - I know this hits close to your heart. I know after all you went through you gave your Dad a 2nd chance and I have no idea how you found the ability to do that. You and Dude are 2 of a kind. Hugs - [/QUOTE]
