Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in how you feel. I to have days where I see my abuser in every tall, dark haired, square jawed man I see and it is horrible. I know, logically, that its not him but those few seconds before I get my thoughts together are awful, my heart pounds, I start to sweat and tremble.
As for finding comfort I am learning that there are many different ways of finding it. Sometimes it is my husbands arms around me but more often it is coming here and writing and taking comfort in the replies, my teddy bear and other cuddly toys are great, a hot shower and a warm bed - these are some of the things that work for me.
Hang in there Wendy.
