Good for you @Powderfinger .
And thank you for your kind thoughts. I expect my grief to come in waves for some years, and burst to the surface at random times, that's the nature of it.
I would describe the process of engaging in talk therapy to come to terms with DV, Stockholm Syndrome and being attached to an abuser as quite a sickening process. I felt very sickened by the science of it. It is just disgusting. But that explains why anyone from any type of background can become a victim. It truly isn't personal. It took me years to get there (I am 11 years post-abuse just to give you some perspective), and years to see how weak & pathetic they are. It doesn't happen over night, and it only happened because I persevered so marvelously.
Thank you @Faith-and-Hope
