Relationships After Trauma (Dating, Marriage, and Challenges)

Relationships after trauma are complicated - whether or not your trauma directly relates to an abusive relationship (whether it be emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse or sexual assault).

I did not believe that love was possible after what I experienced - until I met my (now) husband. But it was a long journey to build a healthy relationship, and here are some of the challenges that I personally faced.
