Dealing with a simular situation
Hi! This is my first post. I have been married to a wonderful woman for 9 yrs. Three years ago, she put herself in treatment due to being afraid she would hurt herself. She was dxed with PTSD, from childhood abuse.
I'm a simple fella, but being scared for my best friends life I began to learn all that I could about this disorder.
It's really nice to find a place where I can go and be heard and vent and maybe get some advise with what to do next. The money thing got out of hand many times, but slowly we are paying it down.. When I have to, I take the checkbook away, she has already given up any credit cards. (a little late, oh, well...) She has a undergrad degree in psy, and is so smart and talented but can't seem to get it together because of the hurt.
I love this woman dearly. It can be so hard seeing her hurt and not being able to protect her from the pain. I take my job as husband very seriously and would destroy any enemy that would try to hurt my wife. PTSD is like warring with ghosts. The purps that hurt her are long gone to judgement but that changes nothing.
Well, now that I have vented, thankyou before hand for listening.
