[quote=Anonymous] A gentle way to start is by scanning the environment. Look for positive, loving men. You might see a dad kissing an infant, or a couple sharing a tender moment at a coffee shop. It may help start replacing the narrative you have in your head. Twenty years is a long time. Have you ever heard of EDMR? I mix up the letters sometimes. It's a treatment used for trauma. I found it profoundly effective. You're amazingly resilient. A situation that would have (and has) broken other people, you survived! You are building a new life for yourself and your DD. Keep going. Know that old feelings can crop up long after you think you should be "over it." I hope other posters can provide you with other tools and advice. Huge ehugs, OP. [/quote]
