My father abused me sexually, physically and verbally. He passed away 7 1/2 years ago. My mother yelled A LOT!! and she also hit, just not as much as him. after my father passed away, my mom was very sad for about 2 years. Then she started being a person I never saw bf. I loved who she was, I started for the first time having a mom. She passed away 18 months ago.

anyhow, for whatever reason my past, especially with my dad is creeping in lots lately. I don't know why! I hate this feeling. I see a talk therapist and I said something along the lines of the past will always affect me. Of course she had me reword that. But even if I reword it, it doesn't help, at least not yet. I have triggers along the way. Such as if my husband is doing a project, and its not going his way. He gets mad, not at anyone bit whatever hes working on. I have to leave, but my kids stay rt there hovering him even though he is angry. I am happy they are not afraid, but I feel like a child when I am the one who has to leave bc of triggers.

Sorry not sure where I am going with this, but I thought once he was out of my life it would all magically disappear, boy I was wrong!

No, some scars seem the slowest to heal, but I think irishanel hit it right on the head, talking it through with the right people will be the way it most has a chance to heal. My former fiance was abused by her step-father and it left her with empty spots that were so hard for her to heal through. She did, however, and I got an invitation to be friends with her and her husband...I'm just thankful she found the right guy to help her through her problems that resulted from it.
Diagosed with bipolar in 1985, I'm learning to deal with it better since finding my "family" at Alcoholics Anonymous, and as of 1/3/2013, I will have one year of sobriety and more clarity than I've ever experienced in my lifetime.
