Thanks Chant2012. I have had several setbacks that have put my marriage in jeopardy. I have to remember that my healing comes first because I can not be anything to anyone until then.

I hear you. I have never said this out loud before, but I do occasionally slip back into remembering the good times with the people(who were family). I even had a tattoo done many years ago to memorialize one and now, I can't scrub hard enough sometimes. I will have to covered since it is very small, but nothing can really change it. Over the past year, so much has been uncovered and it has basically destroyed my entire childhood of memories. I am the only one affected from what I can tell.

I can totally relate to not being able to say the name. I idolized the people who abused me and once the flashbacks and memories began to flow, I couldn't even think of them without trying to shake the memory out of my brain.

Emily, I am doing the same thing. I am very hesitant and trying to slowly work my way in. Sometimes reading so much triggers me. But, I think learning about triggers is really the core of some of this.

Thank you all for the welcome. I do have a T. What I have come to learn is that I need support outside of that 1hr./week. My partner does not understand and has been reluctant to support me through this. Not in an angry way. Her mind just cannot wrap itself around all this. I respect that. Also, I feel I really need the support from others who truly understand. My memories started coming back last year after 9 years of T. It is like I have just started this journey.

Exactly the same situation for me. I am new as well.

I want to thank you all for posting. I am new to "AS" and I have been reading, but not posting too much. It has taken many years to get where I am to even venture into a support system like this. I hope I can find supports that I can trust. I am very much alone when it comes to support outside of therapy. I have a partner and a beautiful child, but I knew long ago the support was not something she could ever do or understand.
