Complex trauma is by its very name…complex! If it’s from childhood it’s so very deep seated , if it’s from adulthood the trauma is all encompassing. The only healing ❤️🩹 comes when you face the issues and slowly work to understand where they come from. I say this to you, Emily, so that you know your trauma comes from adulthood and you have to protect your husband when you make the necessary behavior changes. Your husband seems like a wonderful man, and there are going to be changes in you so you have to be totally open to him about the changes and the reason why. He will understand, but you have to talk to him constantly about what you’re going through. I went through this with my wife before she passed away. She was affected by my trauma as much as I was when I started addressing it. it affected our relationship. It made it way better but it was painful. Just remember your husband has adjusted to your traumas and loved you. He will love you just as much as you’re healing.
I finally got a chance to read this. 1. I want you to know that I pray for you every day. 2. This post gives me even more reason to continue with that practice for the foreseeable future. I have never experienced what you did, but your story brought me to tears for you. May God bless you with the complete healing you deserve.
There is so much beauty in what you write. You are so open with your heart that when I read your work, i feel like I am ease dropping on a private conversation. Although I have not seen you in years, please know that my heart and prayers are always with you, for you, the kids, and James.
