That is me. I have 9 of the 13.

Due to alot of trauma growing up, I definately am one of those fragile people. My family still plays games with me and are NOT a safe bunch.

Am I the only one who bawled the whole time reading these???

I agree with those who think this should go in the library...would permission from the author be required?..or since it's on the net, as long as it's acknowledged, is it OK? What do you think mods?

I go for my first EMDR treatment today to deal with this!

Thanks for the information.

Solitude stands in the doorway, and I'm struck once again by her black silhouette; By her long cool stare and her silence; I suddenly remember each time we've met; And she says I've come to set a twisted thing straight;

I am this "Debbie" It has been two months, yet yesterday. I do not sleep and don't eat like I should. I am separated from my wife and I feel like I am asleep in some nightmare. I can't read the other threads very much yet. Even if I do sleep all I dream about is 'it'. I relive it over and over while asleep. I am not well, physically. Diabetes, High and difficult to treat Blood Pressure, Bipolar, Kidney disease among other things. I don't know what mental issues she has that would allow her to forget her family. I don't know what to do. I am just trying to stay alive and not hurt the man she messed around with. My kids keep me from doing anything stupid. Tonight I just feel really bad because they are not here and I am alone...and scared. I know 'men' aren't supposed to admit that. But I am terrified. Please keep me in your thoughts. Thank you for having such a forum for this.

What is in us that makes us feel too weak, shameful, and too much of a burden to ask for help. Even if doing so means preventing us from dying...

Post Infidelity Stress Disorder

I'd say I fall into the category of being PISD.

4 d-days over 2 1/2 years will do it to you. Actually, the first one did it, the subsequent ones just made it worse.

Thanks for bumping, Joy. And for posting in the first place.
