Hi Lisa. I'm so glad you chose to write here. I know healing is hard. All abuse hurts, and the things you described are abuse. Healing is a process...it takes time. The fact that you were able to put aside the pain for a while says that you have begun your healing, even though you are feeling the pain again. Healing happens in layers, so it will get better and then worse and then better again for a while. But I encourage you to keep at it, because the healing does happen. I know it's hard to open up in t, but as you are able to do so, I encourage it. Opening up here is a great step in the meantime, and you are welcome to continue to post here as much as you wish. You are not alone, and you are not invisible.
Peace,
Terrie
