Found what I have been feared of!

[tt]

I have read and read about finding what your afraid of and facing it.
I have went back in my head and realized when I became afraid.
Years ago 18 years ago, My relationship with my violent x made me terribly afraid of ever dying and leaving my children. He had lost his mom when he was 3 and had a terrible childhood. I separated from him when my girls were little 2 and 3. I then worried endlessly that something would happen to me and he would get custody of my girls. I wrote letters and gave them to everyone that if that were to happen then do what ever they had to and keep my girls with my mom or my brother or sister. I have carried this 18 years and now my girls are 15 and 17 and I really have no reason to worry because they are old enough to say where they would like to go.
Now with that being said, the light bulb is on, but not as bright, but I hope the symptoms will end soon. I have even spoke to one of my girls about this.
Thanks for listening, I just wanted to share!

Hi tt,

Well deduced. That must have been a dreadful time for you with little ones.

Thinking of you.

hi TT,

It often helps us when we discover what it is that started our problems. It was when I admitted what it was that triggered my anxiety off that I was able to deal with it and get better.

Hi TT, good to here u think u have resoolved your problem. I realy think you will get better now that big weight is off your shoulders, but after all that suffering i think it will take time? If u didnt suffer anxiety before the girls where born I am sure you are well on the way to being better, good luck. Vernon

Well done TT for realising what's behind it all and well done for coping too.. I'm sure you'll make big strides forward in time, take it in easy steps but you're on the road to recovery already by the sounds of it.

Good luck and good health
