[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 755561, member: 17720"] I’m sorry, Acacia. I think I know how you feel. It’s odd you should post this today because a young man was shopping at my place of employment whom I thought at first glance was my son. In the second I thought it was him, my heart instantly leaped into my throat, I felt a blind panic to get away, and my eyes filled with tears. I had to step outside and pull myself together. Given how many times a day I give him an angry telling-off IN MY HEAD, it made me see that I still very much have a fear response about him, and my feelings are still very raw. I have been reading about complex PTSD, and my feelings are very similar. Though I mourn for the relationship I wish we would have had, I too feel so much more grounded and stable with time and distance. [/QUOTE]
