dynamic2003,

You're right the past can't be forgotten.
With PTSD and other simular disorders there has to be treatmented in order to be in control the problem. By relearning how we respond to triggers and stressful situation. If not the disorder will control you.

There are many types of tretment, and it's a personnal choice which one is used. No one treament is the answer for everybody, because we are all have differnt situtations and personalities.

There is also the fact that there are 2 different types of PTSD, partial and full-bown.

Therefore, any info any any of the treatments are appresiated.

But we will not be able to forget. After therapy, I was able to look back at my experiences - to own then, as it were - to accept the past with out breaking down or blamming myself. The past is in the past, but I'll never forget. Forgive - yes, for get - never.

I use my experiences to try to help others and to educate other people about PTSD.

Now that I've found my birth family, it seems as tho a weight has been lifted off of me. Most of them, so far, are very nice and helpfull. The ones who are not haven't spoken to me. And anyway they can't hurt me unless I let them or give them the power to do so. In any event, it's in my hands.

My bneice has PTSD and I was able to give her info she didn't know and some helpfull advice. Which she aperciated.

Take good care of yourself.
