Posted by Alli on 8/1/2003, 7:56 am, in reply to "Bad time of day" You have to remember that our abusers programmed us to respond in fear, and fear creates physical illness sometimes. Let yourself experience it. I am positive that in time this will pass and lessen up. The very important thing, Blondiegirl, is to let yourself feel these many emotions. Deal with them now, with your children, and as time moves on, you all will be stronger and more secure with yourselves. Take care

Yes, I have a hard time of day too. Actually, two different times. Dinner time, and about 3am. I think that we were programmed to be walking on eggshells every day around dinnertime and it is hard to break that habit. I still am having a hard time even making dinner, and I am a pretty good cook. My daughter has lived on mac and cheese a few nights when I felt too overwhelmed to do anything. I get a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. It passes, and then at about 3am (and this has been every night since I moved out) I wake up in a panic that he is coming home drunk any moment. That too passes. I am guessing it all has to do with figuring out 'me'.
