Confident
I am extremely stressed out, anxious, fearful, dreading the near future every single day.
My therapist told me I am living "in trauma" every day last week.
I don't know how to soothe, comfort, console, take care of me right now. My home is a trigger - potential foreclosure pending if Bankruptcy not approved. Husband cannot afford house and living expenses but refuses to sell,despite my begging and pleading for years.
I can't work too traumatized and therapist concurs, so I can't help financially out of this financial monstrosity --- disaster pending.
My son has a mood disorder NOS or bipolar, they don't know which, and the days where there are no severe emotional outbursts are few and far between, rare in fact.
My husband is a major trigger. He caused financial ruin and abused me severely causing PTSD. I can't afford trauma of divorce and I have not one red cent to get one if I could. I try to avoid him all of the time so he doesn't cause intrusive memories and further verbally abuse me, put me down, tell me I'm crazy.
I can't go anywhere or do anything, no money, and a horrible fear/phobia of spending one cent, even if I could spare one. I do go to the library and for walks when I have the energy which is rare, under this constant duress.
My therapist wants me to go to day hospital. I don't want to, but if there was a nice place specifically addressing trauma victims needs, similar to rehab for drug and alcohol abuse, I would go there. Why aren't there places specifically for trauma victims/survivors to recover???
My son is 18 but requires constant supervision because of his anger issues. I am afraid he will verbally abuse his girlfriend and she is here every day after school until 9 pm. Husband allows this...he's at work. he allowed her back into the home after I'd insisted they cannot hang out here. He thought nothing of putting me in this position. I babysit my 18 year old... I'm 52 years old, tired and powerless to change anything that they have each caused. I have had it.
Anyone suggest any ways I can comfort and take care of myself? I know Divorce is the ultimate answer, but my therapist wants me to stay where I am right now. So, any comments, suggestions other than Divorce would be appreciated. Thanks. I'm lost at sea without a lifeboat right now and sinking fast.
