W, I still get triggered....a lot at times. I'm dating a very loving man as well that knows of the abuse, etc that my ex and his family inflicted...he's been very gentle with me and I've healed, for the most part, bc of time and his patience. But those nasty memories still sneak up on me....and at times take my breath away....but I work through them and consider it more healing. It's also allowed me to share some things with my boyfriend that allows us to be closer.
Many prayers to you for continued healing!!
