I am feeling overwhelmed right now. My husband and I have been in marriage counselling with 2 different counsellors in 3 years. As with the last he brings up he doesn't believe my abuse story that had emerged during one of our earlier sessions. It had been hidden in my brain for almost 50 years so I have had a lot of adjustments dealing with these memories.
My Mom did not believe me when I told her with my limited english at 20 months old. Over the years I have had weird flash backs and odd feelings which she denied, except for the fact they found the boarder in my room and kicked him out. He lived with us for 2 years, my Mom is a narcissits and she just did not want to deal with it. Plus it gave her time for herself while my sister and I endured a crazy violent man.
So this of course triggers me that I married someone who patterns my Mom's behaviour. My last marriage counsellor told me that it was unhealthy for me to remian in the marriage if he doesn't change. He said this is critical point in my life of what happened to me. So here we are again with the new counsellor and the same story. I was so triggered last week that I do not have any memory of driving 2 hours to my cottage. My last week was awful and trying to work, dealing with feeling dysregulated all week

Happy start-of-the-week!!!! I have work in a couple hours. Rocket is being a stinker over here refusing to finish his breakfast which is most unusual. I will give him a few millk bones before I have to leave for work and some kibble in his bowl. What is something you are looking forward to? For me, I am look forward to seeing my therapist tomorrow and my prayer meeting is on tuesday
The question in my own strictly personal, just-a-patient logic is, "What do I do with it?" Which parts do I work on and which parts do I simply accept?
Continued support while you sort your own, Musk. Hope healing happens here.
I guess either way it's damaging. Both should be in your side.
I remembered my abuse 30 years after. It happens. Why it happens so many years after I don't know. I hate that talking about years later makes ppl doubt what you are saying.
It's a survival technique. It's not always realistic to talk in the moment especially if you a so young.
this has helped me more than anything has my whole life - this family here, accepting me, knowing me - i think, being my witness. the reality(ies) we have survived and now are overcoming together, help us to become stronger together.
it does hit hard when the - wanna make us crazy people in our lives do things like this to us, instead of holding us up and standing up with us. they are some kind of sick that we don't need to understand, we can't help them and they will hurt us if we let them.
i'm right here, with you.
