Yep, PTSD. I had it as well. Tried the meds, but that was a disaster for me. I had one of those 1 in a 1,000 reactions that made things worse. Go figure.

And that is how I know you will be joyful again. I also know God didn't put any of us on this planet to be unhappy and have no peace or joy. He didn't put us here to be blamed by others nor to be judged by them. He gave us life and expects we'll use it to glorify Him. FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) is not something from God, GM. Those are things preventing us from joy and peace.
As you get further from this unpleasant time, I think you'll see that more and more. The danger is that your ex won't let you completely go and will try to prevent you from that joy and peace. I know in my case that's how it has been. But you and only you can make the choice to let him. Sounds smarmy and like it should be on a bumper sticker, but it's true. I've lived it and I see it more now than ever before. I also better understand the reason for forgiveness and why it is so important.
You will too. I can see it in your reasoning.
Peace, AJ
