ANOTHER thing that has been making me nuts.........
I, with *real* PTSD, as a survivor of a very violent domestic situation which also included psychological terrorism and marital rape, eventually became the assistant director of a safehous for women and children who were victims of domestic violence or sexual assault, have a bit of knowlege. In my experience, working there for 9 years with 100s of clients in many different situations and in all of the research that I have done over the years, I know THIS.......NO WOMAN conducts a relationship with a partner that is simultaneously and alternatively one where she is sexually assaulted and degraded and ALSO "very enjoyable", satisfying, happy and loving. It doesn't work that way.:banghead:
