LOL! I spent my entire therapy session this week talking about your post, and the responses to it, and how enraged I am about it all.
And got a wonderful lesson in return on the amygdala, and it's role in triggering, and how being triggered is NOT A SIGN OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DISFUNCTION but rather an amazing survival response from our lizard brain, evolved back in the savannah.
::sigh::
I'm glad you saw this post, because you're one of the people I made it for. You have been phenomenally courageous and gracious throughout this whole debacle, and I have been awed and stunned by you.
