I shouldn't have read the article, but I did , and now I am thinking about my story.
I think my mom was so good at it, she didn't let the "evidence" show. She made sure it was well hidden, so sneaky, so psycho.
But hearing how the sister would laugh as she and the adults would scald the older brother, handcuffed, in the bathtub, makes me shudder. I remember the laugh, when either I or my brother was being tortured. We learned not to make a sound, because that would just add fuel to the fire. There are a lot of sick people in the world. My so called mother should be in prison for what she has done. I know she will be in hell if there is one. Well I know there is one because I lived it growing up.

Glad to hear you're okay. Besides the triggering article, do you think there's any reason why you've been thinking about the abuse lately? Or maybe you've always thought about it a lot, and I just notice that you're posting more about it (possibly the fault of my sh*tty memory?)
take care of yourself, but remember that you're not in danger any more now. You have a lot more resources than you used to.
hugs

Hi Llupsie,
I wish it was true that I don't have any danger. I still do, because she can show up at my doorstep again, armed and wicked, and kill me. She put a gun to my brothers head, so I don't think she would thing twice about doing it to me again. I still worry that she will try to abduct my kids or do something to my DH. She is a very scary person and as long as she is still living, I will still be scared. Last I heard she had thryoid cancer and had it removed. Only when she is dead will I be able to be free of her. Because it isn't just the past memories but the current threat of her harming me.
I have been posting more about this lately, I don't think I think about it more than I usually do. I think seeing and hearing stories remind me of it a lot, but all and all, I feel okay. I am not suffering from the effects of PTSD anymore, for well over 2 years now. I guess it is something that you can never truely forget. But the emotional intensity is low from the past memories, thanks to EMDR. But I am still scared of her and as long as she is living she will continue to haunt me.
BUt I am not staying at home, I am living my life, so things have improved since sexylegs saw me. I miss him, I haven't been at the gym lately because I have been gardening. But I see him in a week. Thanks Llurpsie for responding and caring.
