[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 430840"] It's not that home isn't safe in that she is still there, it is that the memories are still there. That is classic PTSD. My boys have had flashbacks (where they are [U]REMEMBERING[/U] it) as well as body memories (where they aren't remembering but their body is) on occasion in the room it happened in. I really feel sorry for I. Places, smells, people, and senses can all trigger memories. Glad to hear you are changing counselors and looking for a Child psychiatric. When I mentioned dealing with it with compassion and understanding, I was talking about "I'm so sorry honey. How about we get those clothes changed" or "It's okay you had an accident. You just need to tell me instead of hiding it". If it is PTSD, the shame (conscious or subconscious) can be unbearable at times. If the counselor hasn't helped him like he should have, I hasn't been taught to recognize these issues as being related or how to deal with them appropriately. If it turns out not to be PTSD, feel free to ignore everything I have said. But, having been there done that, it sounds all too familiar and I remember everything all 3 of us went through for so long. I am just thankful we found a counselor that specialized in sexual abuse issues, even in children. She was awesome and things got better in a few months. We still have trust issues but the other stuff has pretty much gone away. [/QUOTE]
