I received a private message last night from a member of the EmpowHER community, and she very gently suggested that I might have PTSD. She felt that she'd read signs of it in my post and comments. That was incredibly astute of her, and I appreciated her reaching out to me.
This experience truly has knocked me to my knees. And even though I'm in this horrific domestic violence realm, and have been for months, I honestly still can't believe I'm here. It's like some unrelenting, vicious nightmare I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from. But I don't. So I wonder how the hell I'm going to make it go away. But I can't.
And the court system isn't even allowing me to at the present time. I'm still caught in legal hell right now, fighting to keep my Order of Protection upheld so that my kids and I will have police enforceable protection and can feel safe.
It's all really crazy making, and so hard to see that someday there will be some normalcy to my life again.
