You are still walking that high wire mneme, but it isn't so dangerous when you fall off. You're getting there, and now that you have a partner who understands, your high wire will soon be at ground level. Take care.

Re: What's happening is to be expected
Thanks Ciel, I'll look at those.. I'm lucky the person I am with has done some training in this area too, and can recognise when I'm slipping a bit..

Howdy Naut..!!
lovely to hear from you... and thanks for the support, I know it's all about time and getting well... do you think the bank manager will be as understanding of my memory lapses (ie paying my credit card balance off today instead of yesterday through leaving my computer at my friend's house... lol).

First of all, welcome back! Secondly, congrats on getting rid of that Polish squatter! Anyone who would try to take over my house and blow up at me when I object would be out on her ass (or arse as you say in Britain, LOL) so fast her head would spin...
As for the residual fragility of your emotions - certainly understandable, but you have managed to work through everything so well that I have no doubt in time you will overcome that as well...

What's happening is to be expected
for one who has survived what you have survived. Google homework time! CPTSD and Pete Walker will clarify some things for you, I suspect, as it did for me.
We don't just walk away from years of devastating emotional assault. But we get strong enough to finally process it, and finally, perhaps, unwire all the little buttons we had to install to survive.

I'm sorry those stressors have not completely disappeared, but I think length of time is of the essence. Maybe when you are 70 those negative thoughts will begin to fade. Age has a way of doing that. In the meantime....Glad you are back writing again.
