Miller,
I suppose we are different, but when you have a man's hands around your neck until the eyes roll back in your head and you are laying on the floor while he is kicking you until the cops show up, you get to the point of if I leave and he stalks me the worst thing that could happen is he could kill me. Which at that point I was at my witts end. Even with my husband now, it still seems like yesterday, as my therapist taught me it is a part of you, like it or not. It needs to be dealt with. You need to talk about it and get it out to go on with your life. I held it in soooo long I started having panic attacks after I met my now husband, I said WHY now that I am the happiest I've been since my childhood am I having panic attacks. Well during therapy I found out it was because I let the wall down that I had built during the horrible times. Please talk to someone if you don't have anyone you trust or are comfortable with let me know we can email. I am a survivor of abuse. Yes with meds but never the less I survived !! And you can too ! Trust me ! This is not a dress rehearsal, It's all about YOU!!!
