Hey Mummyboo, I started a post about misdiagnosis which touches on your problem. It takes a long time for us to come to terms with our abuse. Once you are strong enough you will find the strength when asked to reply, as you have stated, no, it wasn’t because of my head injury, it was because he physically, sexually and emotionally abused me. It took me a long time to not be ashamed of his abuse. Now I know the shame is all his. Two women per week commit suicide because of abuse and I often think about the abuser playing the poor victim, soaking up the sympathy when they have caused the suicide. It’s not our shame.
