    Hi Anita

    I appreciate that you’re trying to talk about your desires, thoughts and feelings about the past but this isn’t really a positive interaction. It feels like you are just blaming me.

    You aren’t the only person who has had to leave this website because of the difficulties in communication that we have both experienced. I’ve had to leave twice. I feel like if I spoke about the difficulties I have had you would be very uncomfortable with that.

    You are asking me to promise not to do something that I am already not doing and you think that will make you feel better.

    I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t gotten over our past difficulties and you still experience anxiety about it.

    I’m sorry that I hurt your feelings doing these things. I can see now that it was a trigger for you as you have since spoken about the criticism you received from your mother. I didn’t realise that it was a trigger at the time. I’m sorry for doing something that was a direct trigger for you. I know that is really hard to experience.

    I am just a young woman who has been through a lot of trauma. I was hurt by the way I was treat and when I reported our disagreement nothing was done by the moderation team. It wasn’t even taken down.

    In the past, I don’t think that you understood the impact you have on this community. A lot of people just read before they ever post. People take a shine to you before ever speaking to you because they see your kindness and the way you help others. People are hurt and leave when they aren’t treat with kindness.

    Love and best wishes, always! ❤️🙏

    Dear Helcat:

    Thank you for your understanding and for the efforts you’ve made to rebuild trust. I very much appreciate the positive interactions we’ve had recently ❤️.

    However, after reflecting on our past interactions and considering my own well-being, I feel it’s best for me to step back from our communication. This decision is about taking care of my mental and emotional health, and I hope you can understand my need for space.

    I wish you all the best and hope the forums continue to be a supportive space for both of us.

    Warm regards,

    anita

    For what it’s worth. I do believe that you have overcome your trauma and I don’t believe a situation like that would ever arise again. But I don’t think that is what you’re looking for. Nor do I believe that it will help.

    The more something is avoided, the deeper the fear of it grows. The safer you feel when you avoid it. Positive communication is key to overcoming these difficulties. But I understand if you are not ready.

    Empathy is key to forgiveness. Releasing your fear and anger. We are just two individuals with trauma and we have both made mistakes. We are both good people. There is nothing to be afraid of.

    Love and best wishes, always! ❤️🙏

    On my inspirational words thread Peter left an excellent couple of quotes that I found helpful. It essentially suggested that fear was not reality, but we often choose to cling to it.

    I thought of this in regard to my husband. My worst fears, are that I married someone who wants to hurt me in the most unspeakable ways. But the reality is that he is just fallible and cannot emotionally regulate without sleep. He has a temper, he wants to run away from his problems when he’s hurt, but that is due to his trauma and outside of these issues he is a wonderful person.

    The truth is that he is aware of these issues and trying to work on them.
