Hi all, Im new here.I was sexually and mentally abused from when I was 5 till 17 years of age by my sociopathic/wife beating/pedophile/alcoholic/sexual deviant father.He abused me,my little sister,any friend I would bring in my house.So I stopped having friends over.He abused neighbors kids ,and beleive it or not...not one person told on him!! My mom and us kids were terrified of him.He pointed guns at us and put knives to our throats.( We were terrified to tell!!) In those days nobody told,so I kept this bottled up in me untill I was in my 40's.I started having flash backs,nightmares and was becoming angry,I started having road rage.I knew I needed help and went to see a mental health worker.I told her everything.I felt so relieved!!! She said I was suffering from PTSS.As a nurse I guess I should have figured that one out. The nightmares are rare now and Im doing much better,but still have those depressing moments.We all have scars ,either physical or mental wounds,so we who have suffered must stick together and talk,talk ,talk. Im so happy I found you guys!!
