Kathy, Yes it is the same set of parents And yes I live with one of my abusers. You're right of course, it is one huge trigger after another for me. I am however managing my symptoms rather well, all things considered.

In my mother's defense i will say she has taken certain steps toward making it up to me (as best she knows how). She just doesn't take it all the way to a full on confession and heartfelt apology. She can't handle the guilt.

I know this is not a healthy situation and it is definitely temporary. My Dr. and therapist wouldn't let me get away with staying here any longer than necessary. I'm just waiting for my VA money. I'll be out of here in a few months. Meanwhile, I get the opportunity to learn to manage my triggers more efficiently. I'm doing pretty good so far... really.

I want you to know that I really appreciate your care and concern. It means a lot to me. Thank you.

Take care, Morgan
