Sandy, it is so nice to know that somebody here knows what I’m talking about. Whenever someone hears that I’m having problems with her they tell me crap like “well, you only have one mother, you know” or to forgive and forget or whatever. And they have NO idea. This isn’t just abuse, this is the worst form of abuse a human being can inflict. They aim to *destroy* you. they don't care about you. you just can’t explain it to people who haven’t been through it. I used to wish she would hit me so I’d have proof, because they put on such a good front. I do forgive her. I just want her to stay the h@#$ away from me. In my book, I have no parents. I raised myself.
I’m sorry you’ve been through this, too. You have to dissociate, sandy. your instincts are dead on. I’ve tried having a relationship b/c I felt guilty for the pain I would cause her by dissociating, but you just can’t.
San, I didn’t realize that you’d already tried two SSRIs already with no success. They all work in basically the same manner. I really think if one SSRI doesn’t work for you, none of them will. (it’s good to have the array to choose from due to the different side effect profiles, and to switch off on if you get poopout, though.)
I’ve been taking the prozac for over 6 weeks now, maybe 7. I’ll keep you posted about what I take as a replacement.:)
Thanks!
