T - how about an update? (only if you don't mind) Whatever happened to the issue of the evaluation? How is the visitation schedule working out? I think about you every time I scroll down the PSB page. K

Well, I've been better. This weekend has been tough. I have felt really down. I've only been on Effexor for three months, and I'm wondering if it is working. I think I've come to the conclusion that it is my diet. I've been eating WAY too many carbs. I'm going to start refining my diet and eating what I have my daughter eat.
Another down note, I've started to have flash-backs again. F@##@$ great timing. Not only did I think I had THAT in a place I was ok with, I've been involved with a wonderful man for sometime now, and the physical part of the relationship has been great too. Now I have THAT cropping up too. He has just met my parents and has been getting along with them. That is a first for me. I have not had my parents ever get along with anyone before.
I'm not sleeping well, I've started to stay in front of the TV until I pass out just to keep my mind from spinning out of control. I'm worried.
My therapist thinks I'll do very well if I have to go into an eval. She realises that my STBX is verbally and emotionally abusive, and he has preyed upon my illness to keep me under his thumb. She thinks that any evaluator worth their salt will see right through that, and realize what is and has been going on.The truth? I'm tired of being strong. I need a vacation.
Are you sorry you asked?
I just needed to vent I guess.
Thanks.T

>T - I'm not at all sorry I asked because I'm sure there are lots of folks here who are prepared to give you whatever support we can. I'm not familiar with your history so I didn't understand the reference to flashbacks. Also it seems like your new male friend should be a positive and not "and another thing" kind of deal, or does it have something to do with the flashbacks or is it the stress of having to introduce him to your parents and worrying about how they'll respond. How does your daughter get along with him? Is the fact that this guy is in your life a problem for the STBX? Sometimes I get these overwelming feelings that I don't want to be responsible to or for any person and certainly not for myself. The reality for us Moms is of course really different, but you might consider that taking care of yourself is a critical component of taking care of your daughter, and treat yourself gently. K
