How will you know when you have recovered and can move on from the affects of the abuse.

For me it is when i don't feel emotionaly numb. The ptss has been elimnated. and i can get up each morning and feel troubled.

I'm not sure if anyone ever "gets over it", but i think one can move on. I was sexually asaulted at about 13, and I'm now 56. Still affects my life. But I have gone on. Hope this helps.

I agree that you dont get over it but can deal and learn to live with it. I have said for a while now that the next step for me is to confront my abuser but just dont know how to go about it.

Living your life. Get through a day without thinking about it, dreaming about it, giving a crap about it, not playing the martyr over it, obsessing over it. You'll know. It snuck up on me, but one day I noticed I was living my life and not making excuses for I am. Seriously, if this is me...so be it. Personally, I like who I ma and I like that I don't deal with it everyday any more. Does it still pop up, of course. But I've said it a gazillion times, does it own me? Nope.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
