I was sent to a foster home in NJ when I was 6 years old in 1944. The first thing 'dad' did was knock me out; then yell, scream and swear the rest of the time. 'Mom' sexually molested me. I lived with that alcoholic couple for 12 years until I got old enough to get the hell out of there.
Here I am, over 50 years later having nightmares about that horrible situation.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

Have you considered seeing a therapist who specialized in childhood abuse or Post Traumatic Stress? Might be able to help resolve those nightmares!

I am so very sorry for what you went through. I would also suggest counseling to help you get past this and find peace.

A week or two of doing this will certainly yield positive results (maybe not physical, but surely emotional). Give it a try? Or make a 30 day trial out of it and see where you want to go from there!

I am very for that...
