[QUOTE="Beta, post: 764296, member: 22597"] Dear Tireof33, Wow. You've been at this longer than I have and, from the sound of it, you've been dealing with a lot more drama. I just want to say how sorry I am that you have been and are dealing with so much turmoil. I've been doing a few sessions of counseling recently, and the counselor told me that I have suffered trauma from Josh, kind of a version of PTSD. I knew there was something wrong but I hadn't realized it was that bad. It sounds like you too are traumatized and have developed survival responses to the trauma. I pray that you too will be able to come to a place of peace and acceptance, as I would like to. It's hard to learn not to tie our peace and serenity to the circumstances and actions of our messed up adult kids. As I read your description in your bio, I agree with you--it does still hurt no matter what. My counselor said it will always probably hurt, but the goal is to grieve in a healthy way and come to a place of acceptance. Sending hugs your way, and so glad you have a supportive husband.
