    oh my gosh. while i was reading this post i stopped breathing. i have been looking for something with 'teeth' to send to my pastor who along with anonomous church donors paid for one year of therapy in which the therapist would not let me escape the abuse in my childhood which included the sadistic and intentional cruelty of my so called mother and her best friend my older half-sister. they premeditated regular 'mocking sessions' until i moved out on my own after college at 21. while i was going through this intense therapy people at 'church' made disparging remarks to me and one woman, the president of the women's bible study asked me if i took money from the offering plate at a luncheon! another accused me of being on street drugs because i was on extended relief Xanax, and my eyes were dialated. another, the president of the church counsil said 'how long is this (ptsd) going to go on?' when i could not participate in a church activity during Lent last year. i was the church's 'charity project' and when i did not 'become fixed' by this therapist quick enough and when i could not enter the 'church' building because my body froze ... my pastor sneered at me, 'somebody has paid a lot of money for you to go to spiritual retreats' ... and let me give you some advice, 'you need to grow a thick hyde'! but she didn't mention how much the therapy which was paid by an anonomous donor had cost...which was thousands. i can't go back there to that church alone. i see such hypocracy. to think about meeting up with these 'harmers' who have seemingly normal lives makes me physically ill. about a year ago, my so called mother started mocking me. she said to me, 'well, if YOU THINK YOUR TEETH ARE BAD, YOU SHOULD SEE MY FRIEND R's teeth'! i said in my mind, I don't think i have bad teeth. i see a dentist regularly. i have no cavities. i don't whiten my teeth. i am still outraged at the sadistic intentions of my so called mother at her continued cruel and sadistic behavior intentionally caused to 'hurt me' so bad. i hate her. right now after reading this article i feel validated. those 'harmers ARE the sick and twisted people of the world' and i wish i could scream but i have no voice right now. i have been completely touched to my very soul by this article. and, that it may be 'dated' i am going to cut and past this and send it to my pastor. maybe, just maybe, she will have more understanding of this horrendous whatschamacalit, my preference is Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and that it is the only mental health disease in the DSM IV that has etiology makes 100% sense. i wonder if i will ever be able to dig my way out of the hole i fell into almost two weeks ago. i feel i am disassociating and left to represent myself in court come monday morning because i dared question my attorney about my case and 'what is the disposition'. i feel elated that i read this articla and in the same breath i feel completely shattered by the real truth, that we survivors of cruel intentions are stronger than our persecuters. Creeps. i will look forward to my pastor's response to this brilliant information. btw-the therapist who forced me to face my past never called me back when i tried to reach him again. he was friends of the pastor. i felt let down by the very person who would not let me escape a childhood that i wouldn't wish on anyone. thanks be to God that when i was pregnant i did re-parent myself as best as i could. i was so afraid i would be a child abuser and that i didn't give birth until age 27 helped too. i never treated my children like i was by my birth mother and i love my children with all my heart ... even though for the time being they have turned away from me for being physically ill for the past 4 years. but my brain is set in the 'i am going to be fine physically mode' although i know i will have to deal with PTSD at certain times forever because it happened over and over and over until age 52 when i said 'no more'.

    Happy New Year. May your 2009 be so good that it amazes you! I've been in the weeds, what with studying for my GREs. I kept promising myself I would touch bases with everyone as soon as they were done, and they are, finally!
