Thank you for sharing! You're not alone. As someone who has also been through a domestic abuse relationship and lives with PTSD, I'm proud of you for sharing your story and I look forward to seeing more of what you write.
PTSD can be really hard. It's such a complex condition and it sounds like you're in the beginning stages of healing from it, but I just want to tell you that over time it will get better. I'm not sure if we ever entirely heal, but it will get better.

Also great paragraph: "I'm not telling you all this to seem like I had a perfect life or childhood, I had felt my share of sorrow and pain, like everyone else. I'm telling you this to point out that domestic violence can happen to anyone.
It doesn't matter if your rich or poor, male or female, old or young. It can happen regardless of your occupation, social status and upbringing." I personally went through a lot growing up, but it's good to point out that that's not always the case, and that domestic abuse can happen to ANYONE. 

Keep going Lilac! We're all rooting for you :)

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing part of your story! I'm glad to hear that you got away from your abusive relationship and that you have the strength to work on healing, that's amazing, and you sound very brave =). 

And thank you for that quote. Its extremely important to me that victims of domestic violence, in any form, realize its not their fault and that there is no shame in it or asking for help =).

Peace

My husband suffers with PTSD as well - mostly from some of the terrible crap he saw during the first Gulf war. Somalia was the worst for him.  He's also been through some pretty terrible relationships too, which compounded everything. Thank YOU for sharing your story too.
