Set Boundaries Because You Have To

Nightmares have come back. You have to fight really hard to keep some sense of being grounded so you don't fall apart.

You try to focus really hard so you know there's nobody else in the room. Nobody's hiding under the bed, in the closet or in the shower. There's no hot naked babe behind you, under you or on top of you that will do anything you say. But it takes a huge amount of energy to know what's real and what's not.

No matter what, we're not strange in any way. Others who say and do horrible things have to live with the consequences of that. Not us.

The pain is always there. You never get a break. But you know that you're on the right track.
