    I have the upmost respect for all above, and have only admiration and think you are all incredible to share and continue to help each other,  I have stuff to share, but I can't put it on here, I am still too raw, it's been a year and  6 months and still far too raw. But all of your experiences have made me think that I too can be as strong as you all one day xxx total respect xx

    My flashbacks are around 3.30am for some reason,, they are horrid aren't they.  Since I've been on anti ds they have reduced to about 3/4 times a week instead of every night and morning so I am improving,, I have to get up and make a cup of tea and go outside, look at stars,, gather and compose,, and then it's touch and go if I can get back to sleep,, but I am gradually getting better,, I hope you do too x

    Some of these chats have really upset me.....
    How can people be so cruel and to their own children, who are a gift to us, to look after, protect and nurture......
    These people are true "Devils" and they deserve to rot in hell and be tortured them selves.
    BIG hug of me and i wish i could take your pain away xx

    I don't want to say nothing and leave people feeling unheard but I don't have the right words and know nothing I can say would help with the pain people have experienced. 
    I hope that you've all managed to find peace and happiness. You're all amazing <3

    I personally think there are a lot of things that can only be learned through lived experience!  <3
