Hi, I am Cathy. I am the mother of two boys and
married for a long time. But, before I was married, my life was a living
hell. I was abused physically, mentally and emotionally by my
family. In addition, I was sexually abused by my father and many of
his friends and "uncles", from the time I was three until I was
19 and left home. After that brutality, I didn't know how to have a
normal relationship with anyone, so I fell into relationships that were
equally abusive and horrific. Thus, the alphabet soup of PTSD that I
live with now and have for most of my adult life.
PTSD is an "interesting" series of ups and
downs, ins and outs, but it is survivable, can be healing, but we all need
someone to hear us out and listen to what we have to say. I want to
be able to be that someone for those who have no one else to talk with.
I answer all mail, and check in with you to make sure that you are doing
okay. clbj_36@hotmail.com
