So glad 2017 is over!! This last year, probably why I am not on here much this last 6 months, I have filed for divorce from an ex alcholic with no empathy and doesn't really believe in PTSD or CPTSD, packed up all my stuff, moved, closed my business and starting a new one all over again at close to 60, self employed, first time ever had conflict with my daughter, ex added fuel to that fire. My sister (NPD) again tried to put a wedge between daughter and myself. Did 3 years of weekly couples counselling, indivdual counselling and in the last while a hosptial out program for childhood abuse programme

Renovating my new place so I can practice from the home, living in boxes, found temporary office and had to move all office furniture there by myself. Pooped of all this :(

Oh and Apple care found my laptop and iphone linked to ex ipad, following all me email, texts etc for last 2 years, supper invasive and controlling.

In following your year here, run, I've admired how you've rolled with massive changes. What Apple found was plain scary.

Hope your relationship with your daughter turns toward restoration as the new year progresses. So glad you're in your new place now--new year, new home, new business, may you reap the rewards.

Thanks Nancy and Muji, I am turning a new page. Kinda scary and wish I could do this without CPTSD.

Wish you the best and may all go well for you, seriously did the same myself about 8 years ago, only I'm a bit older so just trying to write and watch little ones. I wish I knew now what I did 40 years ago, but it is what it is. My Ex- simply let the mother in law call their shots, yes there is evil in this world. So, that after 15yrs., I finally ended it, sold everything, and moved to another country. It has it's ups and downs too, but still, it's way way better.
That malware on your systems by the way, it's illegal and could be a legal matter if need be. I hope you have a good firewall, and Malware cleaner now for both phone and laptop.

May 2018 be a year of resolution for you, Run2.

Thanks Faux, I felt hopeful reading your response. It feels like to many fires going on and getting floors done (they were just plywood as I had this place built in 2009 and ran out of money). So I have furniture all stored in other rooms and it feels like I have to tunnel through to find my bed which is in the spare bedroom.
I am a clean freak and this is triggering my PTSD for sure. My living room has a huge saw in it where they are sawing the pine plank floors and dust everywhere.
I do have Malware on my Mac, thanks for that advice

Thanks Arfie too

sounds like you are on your way, albeit bumpy, but on your way. keep rolling with the changes. best of luck

run2bfree 01/03/2018

Changes are good but they are scary and unnerving even if you know it is what is best for you. I also forgot to mention I had to take antibiotics for a year to get rid of lyme this past year...things always come all at once

Thanks Imex and LP :)

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
