A paradox of trauma recovery is, we're often not even recovering from "the thing"-- we're recovering from the aftermath of the thing, the experience of having lived w/ the impact of the thing over years.
Living w/ trauma over time can be far more debilitating than the trauma.
@DrDoyleSays For me, it extends to digital communication as well. I feel like sometimes it's too long before I can get to a place that I can respond, anxiety over how long it has been kicks in. I have burned so many bridges so badly in the last year, there is no going back.
@DrDoyleSays Like I'm sitting in a movie theatre alone and life keeps moving on in front of me on a screen. I can't interact with anyone, or talk to anyone, just watch them all.
@jbendery Wait?! This is the person behind all the U.S. Parks social media account?!
Brilliant! The team there has changed the game, they are next level amazing!
@AlexanderLocke_@TheDannySmite One of my partners' parents live in Portugal & we've been talking about going to visit. It looks so beautiful, have fun!
The wee-est one is at theatre camp. Her final performance is coming up & I asked her who she wanted to invite...me & her dad, her sisters, her dad's partner & my partner (and his partner).

Shakespeare in the Park under the stars w/ my partners ended with me waking up btn them completely naked & wondering how I survived that many orgasms.
I needed that.
Also, the traditional gift for 16th wedding anniversaries is double penetration. Who knew?!

@LeaveHeardAlone I found the obituary of the man who SAd me when I was 10 a few months ago.
Knowing he was dead didn't give me the closure I thought it would, but seeing there was no service or condolence msgs to his family made me feel like by the end everyone knew he was a garbage human.
@Krystalla3 She will remember that you did this for her and from the sounds of it, she'll definitely pass along that kindness to someone else down the road someday.
You are an amazing person.
