[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 586498, member: 13882"] SuZir, I have felt rage, betrayal, hurt, shock, and I really didn't know what to do with those feelings. If I did a brain dump on husband, he would recoil because it frightened and also hurt him that I was so powerless and raw. I couldn't talk to another soul about it, so I decided to get a cheap notebook and write my feelings down, no matter how ugly. At first it was a little difficult because my mind was racing, and I couldn't collect my thoughts enough to rationally put them down on paper. Eventually, I was able to do so, and it all spilled out. I hid the notebook after each entry. I went from writing every day in the journal to once a week, then so on down to about once a month. It may not work for you, but it helped me expunge all that bile that was eating me alive. I have never gone back to read those entries; it would just open old wounds and wouldn't do me any good, but it certainly helped at the time. [/QUOTE]
