Engage in life: Sorry to hear about your trauma, for which there arent easy answers, a syou are discovering. My rule of thumb in dealing with such a traumatic event is to reset your life button by making some fundamental changes in your life that dont remind you of the past and forces you to engage withsome new activity. Can you think of some passion to persue? You can ask for a consult to discuss more. Feel good

Act brave: You may need to find the right therapist. Nothing will change what has happened, but you can learn to look forward rather than backward, and practice behaviors that will lead to more positive interactions with others. The key will be learning new skills and ways of thinking -- different from what enabled you to survive in a crazy environment. Take small steps toward love and even forgiveness.
