Long exposure to abuse usually means long term effects.  I accept that PTSD is manageable for me but I doubt that it will ever be gone from my life.  I lived with it since I was 5 years old.  I didn’t have a name for it until I was 45 years old.  I continue my research and learning new ways of creating a thriving environment for myself.  I don’t have all the answers but I am enjoying life more and more everyday.
