Thursdays Halloween Roll Call

Good evening Lisa and the rest of Illinois!

I just got back from the counselor, and he actually remembered everything today.  He said that since I seemed so positive (after 3 sessions) maybe I didn't need to come anymore?  I think he is diagnosing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but triggered by the awful stress from work after being betrayed by my FIL and my family not treating me correctly.  This is the same "breakthrough" that I had yesterday. 

After having to leave my mother in my bed, sleeping, to ultimately die in a fire, I was not subjected to incest (that I know of), but daily physical abuse including being punched in the face by my stepmother.  Later, I was living with a grandmother that did not want me, so she married me off at 15 to a 22 year old (hence Amber).  These days, that would be a pedophile.  Left him at 16 to make a better life for Amber and myself.  It has been a hard road, but it has not bothered me until the extreme stress of the past few years.  Things are looking up though!

Thank you all for sharing your roads with me.  I guess we all have something.

Sharon.........I am SO sorry that G is not being completely honest with you.  I hope there is healing for you both.

I am thinking of you all and will try to hook up with Connie soon just to chat.

Everyone have a good evening!

Man Dawn and Sharon we need to have a good Hen party! After my mother died when I was ten. I was basically left to fend for myself. I wasnt sexually abused but What I saw when my father wasnt around. I saw my eighteen yr old sister molesting my seven yr old brother!!!!! She beat both uf us for not cleaning to her liking, But she wouldnt clean up after herself. I tred to tell my dad but he wouldnt listen. My dad remarried eight months after my mother died. I carry this in my head all the time. 

My sister thinks that if u dont do things her way its the highway! Still treats her kids that way. No wonder she doesnt like her husband. Always looking for something else. 

My stepmother wasnt any better. She treated my brother and I badly. Only her daughter could do no wrong!!!! She best me cause i was cinsidered overweight and hid food from me!!! I wanted to run away!!!!! I was glad when i was twenty three I got the courage to leave! She died at the age of 39 of cancer. 

My mother was 39 when she died.   I am good friends with my step sister though.
