Absolutely. Many of the same issues are still apparent and I highly doubt they will ever go away. I recall that when it was you, LaL and I modding, we would remove offensive threads (racism etc) but

Thhanks guys, I know, it is awful. The scary thing is that she doesn't even remember it. She can remember just before she did it and then moments of people finding her, but that's it. She has a real problem with dissociating during times of stress, which is actually how she came to this. So the main worry is that she won't "be there" if she ever feels she's in that place again. She's finally accepting that her methods of coping are unhealthy and is open to getting the help she needs, which is positive.

My husband has been amazing. When they found her, even though he was acting in panic mode, he made sure I stayed away because he didn't want to re-traumatise me. He took me to work with him today so I wouldn't have to be alone, he's been sleeping holding me real close so if I wake up he can comfort me instantly. I'm trying to be there for him as well, we've talked a lot about everything. It's times like these that you realise how much you need and love someone, huh. :)

Agreed, your husband does sound like a really trooper. And it sounds like things will be rough, but that you are a strong couple who will persevere. We're all here if you need to vent, talk or just need virtual hugs.
