OH! and Nikko. I was with my ex from the time I was 15 years old until I was 27. I have now been divorced for 9 years.

I think PTSD lasts forever. But I think we can control it with therapy and meditation or prayer. Your dealing with it now may just save you in the future. Don't hold it in. It just makes it worse. K love?

And Mad Tatter: How awful. I would be upset as well. She is making some very poor decisions. You are a wonderful mother to be helping your son through such a trying time. I hope he can get the momma to let him have the kids or to kick the creep out.
