Evie, your comments ended up helping me more than you may know. As I too felt the statement and question posed were a bit general and therefore unintentionally perhaps confusing or misleading. But, I refused to alter a word of his question. I simply deeply appreciated that my husb. was willing to toss out a personal question of his own in the hope of some release, feedback and possible help.

Tonight I practiced patience, understanding, trust and restraint of my two-cents, though it wasn't bad what I was thinking, just simply in my defense and unneccessary. I admit it wasn't the easiest thing to do so. Because of my fears, I have struggled so much with any room left for possible misunderstandings or interpretations, but I now know with me simply being honest and open to the best of my abilities, that I don't need to be defensive in my communications as there is nothing to shy away from anymore or avoid exposure of. I'm getting to know myself more thouroughly, hold greater self-trust and beginning to like myself, though I still hate this PTSD sh't symptoms.

I didn't even necessarily like the way he worded his question. Feared it was too vague, somewhat slanted, biased, ...basically simply too general, but oh' well it wasn't my question to ask. It was for him, and at the time he couldn't access his pers. membership. Now he can.

The fact was, it was his question, word for word, not mine and so I just left any clarification up to him or not, and was appreciative that he was willing.

I'll say though the pressure within me was building as I read on more, up until he got to posting and clarified things for me as well. It was your posts Evie that relieved some of my pressure til this point.

Hope

But, I am glad everything worked out just the way it did, and from what I understand from him, he is most appreciative for the understanding he's received.
