[quote=Anonymous]OP, I see no reason not to take a break when a trigger hits, go sit in a room alone, and grieve for that child and her brother and all their hope and innocence. Nobody should be put through what you've been put through, and pretending it didn't happen would be insanity. Sit, think, feel - then think about your kids, about how HARD you've worked to create a different life from yours, how much you've changed and how different your new family looks. Give yourself credit for it. You've done an amazing job. Stop expecting yourself to be 100% after the childhood you lived. You may never be. But give yourself credit for how far you've come and the hopeful person you are now. You've given an amazing gift to your kids. I'm never going to be 100%. But instead of dwelling on those lost percentiles, I give myself credit for being 90%. It's a lot. I've earned it and it came hard. Nobody can take that from me. Merry Christmas OP.[/quote]
