I replied to civilian- this is a long story:

I'm sorry for what happened to you. I'm learning to deal with my sexual molestation experience and everything that comes with it. I don't there is any "getting over this." That sounds like what a 3rd person/observer/family who no nothing about sexual molestation would say. I noticed my flashbacks subsided after I went to a therapist and he/she helped me assess the underlying factor - being sexually molested. Being sexually molested as a child is who I am. I'm learning to live with it maybe until my last day on earth.

I found a new book: Trauma and Recovery by Judith Herman. It seems to be help on my journey to feel healthy and act healthy.
