[QUOTE="klmno, post: 321466, member: 3699"] Also, Janet, not that I'm anywhere close to being a therapist or being able to advise someone in that area- I was VERY lucky in getting help in this area. I hope you have found a good therapist who is helping you work thru processing all this. It makes all the difference in the world. I found mine in a military place that was actually started to help military people with PTSD from a war and who had gotten into drugs to self medicate it- of course, it was "expanded" with peace time, the drug culture, and women being in there so they had gotten a very good female therapist on board who I can't imagine ever getting better without. She stressed a lot of things to us- not the least of which is that being an abuse survivor is not the same as someone who is "bad". You learned survival and defense mechanisms- I swear to me, that is just not the same thing as a personality disorder the way I think of it anyway. [/QUOTE]
