While there the girl left her to watch her 6 month old baby long enough to buy groceries. While she was gone, one of the girl's husband's friends showed up and the unbelievable happened to my daughter..she was assaulted. In her state of mind she was unable to tell anyone until a few weeks ago. Detectives told us by waiting this long, even tho he did have an extensive rap sheet, without evidence it's her word against his. He told us what detail and all it would involve and that in the shape she was in they doubted she could hold up to it. I have been taking her back and forth for treatment in Galveston because she has Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovaries and (sorry to be so graphic)..a lot of damage was done.
Amy has been suffering from PTSD now and the flashbacks have started. I had heard about them but never witnessed somebody experience one till now. It would break your heart. The couselor at the Crisis Center said they could last a year or longer. The behavioral Center the dr is attempting to get her into is at capacity and waiting for a bed.
Please sincerely keep Her in your prayers. My daughter is a very beautiful and special girl. |
I cant even believe I am about to do this, but something very similar happend to me 10 years ago. I was drugged, raped (omg...!) and it was video taped. Medically, I was fine and I supressed everything until about 5 years ago. I saw a story on the news about a case that was similar to mine and I went "off the deep end". Out of nowhere everything that I buried came to the surface....and then some. I remember not being able to breathe and it was so bad that I ended up in the ER. They told me I was having a nervous breakdown. I ended up in therapy and was diagnosed with PTSS. I'm shaking so bad now that I cant type anymore, but if you need any info on a breakdown or PTSS, just pm me.
