@baa it’s what I have chosen to do, too. The closer you come to the end of your life (I am almost 77 and lately have seen a lot of friends and family drop dead in their early to mid seventies) it becomes more important to focus on making the most of what time you have left, than being angry at those who hurt you and are already six feet under! They are oblivious to your anger and pain so why torture yourself hanging on to their memory, eh!
Yes, I will have PTSD for the rest of my life, but I accept it as part of my life just as I do all the other illnesses that I have to live with. Not easy by any means, but all I can do is put one step in front of the other.

I did have to chuckle at your statement that you are coming to the end of your life because you are "almost 77." I am 88 and still hanging in there. I find that at that age the biggest problem is making a plan because you really do not know how much longer you will be here. However the suitcases are out and I am going on a cruise. Leaving Friday. I was also told I have PTSD caused by an abusive mother for so many years until I had the courage to leave. That saved my life. Even at this great age, I do not have illnesses. I had to have a complete hip replacement but that is not a disease and I am mostly recovered. The best thing is I can drive and be independent. And you are going the right way - putting one step in front of the other. Long may you walk.
