Hey Bella,

Welcome aboard. Sorry to hear of your truama, made much worse by the fact that you trusted this individual. As for 'normal' what's normal anyway? I don't think any of us could lay claim to being normal - we all have 'stuff' just that PTSD stuff has a such an impact on every facet of your life. They don't call it trauma for no reason. Given a little time and the right treatment the healing process should start and things will be different. Its a hard journey, no doubt, as many here will tell you. This is good place to get some support so you can get on the road to healing. The honest truth, as we currently understand it, is that there is not cure for PTSD but there are strategies to make it a little easier to live with. Take care
