Yes I am back, sorry if I worried anyone but I was sick again and I am slowly recovering thank you all for thinking of me it really means alot to me. I actually have a question though and I am having a hard time with it so bear with me please.
About a year ago I put someone in prison for sexual assault (he was already a registered sex offender as it was). I recieved a letter in the mail from the victims advocate office that he was granted parole and should be out soon, (they will let me know when he is out) probably about 30 days. This morning I turned on my TV and I had a major flashback where I had to call emergency sevices at our mental health facility so I could get grounded again, it was like watching me and him on TV even though it really wasn't it seemed so real the sounds and everything. Thank God for my cats jumping on me because that snapped me out of it and I called for someone to talk to but I really need to know if any of you have any coping mechanisms that help you out I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I am still very anxious so if there are any spelling issues please forgive me I am typing quite fast. I have taken my Thorazine for the anxiety but now i have to wait for it to work. This idiot was my ex-brother-in-law and also my cousin so that doesn't help any because it brings back the violence and stuff I went through with his brother, my ex-husband. Well that is all for that right now please feel free to contact me by private note or public I don't mind you all have always helped me and I love you all for it and have missed you all teribly but I should be back now barring any other issues. Thanks again folks and I look forward to hearing from you. SORRY SO LONG!!! marjorie zych

I can honestly say that I know what you are going through. I had a step father who was abusive for 9 years. I had flash backs for a very long time. It was very difficult to leave my house, trust people, or much less talk about it. So #1 you are doing the right thing by talking about how you feel. People handle things like this in so many different ways. My step father moved to another state and I no longer speak to that side of the family so that helps. You have to find a spot in you that truely helps you. I began going to church which helped me as a person. Like I said you have to figure out what helps YOU.. Because you are the most important person in this situation.. One day I woke up and it was a light bulb went off in my brain. My step father would get his kicks if he knew every day that I am living in fear ... So I decided he is going to be the victim and I am going to be the survivor!!! He victumized me so there for he is the victim I survived it so I am the survivor !!! I will pray for your guidance !! I fyou need someone to talk to I will be here for you !!
Thanks so much for the kind words. It is like a birthday present for me today to get such kind people(today is my birthday). Everyone on this site has always been so good to me and I really appreciate it. I am trying to not be the victim anymore either so I am reaching out and I appreciate you reaching back it really helped out. I also have a church and they are great and I have found some peace that way also. Thanks again my friend, marjorie zych
Give yourself a birthday present, the gift of freedom!!! Freedom from the chains that hold you prisoner. You are now free to break those chains. You can also give your self the gift of joy, the joy that you know that you are able to feel in your heart and that despite that fact that the evil is in the world, he is no longer is able to take it from you. Most of all you have the gift of friendship. Whether the friendship be face to face or through the computer, just knowing the these friendships are there let them support you and give you strength. You know that you can persevere over the injustices that you have had to endure and that you will rise above and find the help you need to get better. I hope that you will grant yourself these gifts on your birthday and celebrate your re-birth today! God bless and rise above! You will make it through this!!!
Thanks again Valerie, you are such a kind person. I have really treasured the friendships I have made here and I will try my darnedess to do those gifts, thanks for all the support talk again soon marjorie zych
