Not to throw a wrench into the already f@cked up works here BUT

This is not plain vanilla you're dealing with here West.

More vanilla with nuts on top.

This PTSD stuff is very tricky business especially with sexual assault/abuse.

Let me guess the OM is way below her?

There are lots of feelings of low esteem. Victim stance.

She feels probably unworthy etc.

One thing you have to realize is that part of this. Most of it. Probably isn't you.

Doesn't relieve you of the responsibility to look at those things that are yours.

Just want you to realize that it ain't all about you.

Is she being treated for her PTSD?

What symptoms have you noticed?

How old was she when it happened?

My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
