I am so sorry about your nightmares and that you have to deal with the after affects of such a horrific relationship. It is good that you are dealing with it now instead of just ignoring and suppressing it. The nightmares will lessen with time.
It can be scary and threatening, but you are becoming more and more empowered. You have continued to grow stronger and stronger because of these emotional challenges. Kind of like adding weights to your exercise builds muscle strength. You are building incredible spiritual strength that is going to help you conquer these Deamons, Your courage to address and fight is greatly admired. Not many are able to openly admit to being in this type of relationship. This takes a lot of courage. You are not afraid to fight and stand up for yourself.
You were not afraid to walk away and that says the world
Your research and devotion to this area is going to help you and I strongly suspect, many others. Making these issues more aware to the public is very important. I think you post about a very important topic that does not often get explored and that many people like to hide away or admit to.
