I've heard the term 'trauma bonding' before. Like an unholy bond forged in your pain with your abuser!

I spoke with this at length with my pyschologist. I never let go of my ex husband for five long years-could'nt understand it, now I do and I probably had ptsd aswell. Was'nt until I was in trauma again-I had to work backwards, present to past and start I guess process all my feelings, put them in context(removing all the Narcs in my lifes projections and crap) address everything.

I think I'm doing okay now. As well as can be :)

I wasn't convinced until now

I guess I was beginning to think I could cope and that I'm getting better. This article made me think twice.

Now I'm thinking, I've been trying to cope and maybe I keep walking into the same situation every time because I never healed from my first trauma. I never really talked about the first N with anyone because my friends are friends with him and I didn't want to make waves.

I was even in therapy at the time for something else - - a horribly traumatic car accident - - that I may not have entirely healed from, and I never really brought up the first N.

I talked about him a little, but I never really got into all the sordid details. I just felt stupid and gross having been with him, so I buried it as much as I could.
