Yep, that's it, pretty much. Living in constant fear, trying to anticipate and forestall rages and verbal assaults, ignoring death threats so as to keep functioning but then finding myself unable to sleep for years ... and having everything I believed to be right and true turned upside down and jettisoned in favor of survival.

I know these things have affected me, Zen. Doing better, these days. Still working on becoming a bit of an ornery bitch who doesn't tolerate bullshit!

Wow, major thread hijack! And now, we return you to your regularly scheduled programming ...
