To @amberpep and @underedwardstale2018. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us to move forward. My gosh. Sharing the awfulness is so helpful for those of us who want to listen and help you by sincere support and virtual hugs. Blessings.

I experienced trauma at a number of times over the years. Living with the memories has been very difficult for me. A couple of weeks ago, my therapist told me that the trauma and its effects on my mind will always be there. My work is to find a way to move forward. That was incredibly hard to hear. No one had ever said those words.
I think I'm going to need time to soak that in. I'm sure that I knew it at some level, but I had never brought it into the light of day.
I know that working through this will be helpful. The process, though, is kind of rough.
Living with a traumatic past is never easy, but it sure helps to have caring people around us.
