PTSD all time bad

I was in an abusive marriGe for 30 yesrs. Ended up with PTSD. I divorced him and wanted to get a life. I have really tried, but i found out he made sure i would live in hell forever. I will alwYs have PTSD, which i new already. He was my dentist for 40 years. In the final year of the awful divorce he gave me hepatitis C.  His best friend has it and i wondered why this guy was scheduled right before me several times. I hated him. Well  now i know. He used an instrument on this guy, left blood on it and then probbed my gums. He gave me hep c!!! Wasnt PTSD enough? How can he live with himself? I wish i could do it back to him but why bother. Its like a death sentence. I alreadt suffer everyday from PTSD, now i get to suffer more. Thanks for listening.    Janis

Vent away, Janis. It can help with the sorting.

Suffering is a hard habit to break; a habit which can make us emotional cripples for life, if we let it. I hope you can take your personal power back. Gentle support while you find your way. Sort freely. Sort often. Your answers are in there.

Healing hopes for all. No exceptions.

Janis, can't change what has happened, but Hep C is now curable, not put in remission, but cured. This is only within the past few years, but can be done through county health services (no fee). No longer a death sentence.
May be better that we do not understand those so mean spirited. Calming and comforting hugs.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
