Hello there. Im a first timer so please forgive my ignorance :). Your replies and advice mean so much to me so please feel free to let me know your thoughts and experience.

I had an awful experience 4 years ago with my partners family. They are big fat bullies. They use threats to amplify there suggested power status and if they cant get what they want they throw you away. They made my partner choose between me and them. He would not take his mothers ultimatum so I was bullied and lied about.

They put me in physical danger and verbally abused me. They just hated me so much. I think they hated me because I didn't believe there big words and gesture's. I have already been through so much to fall for such an immature idea.

They made my life hell for so long, his mother took his little sister away from him ( his sister who was his strength through his depression before me) he loves her so much and its so awful. He lost his older brother and the rest of the family, His mother spread rumours making shore no one in the family would talk to him any more, saying that he hated them and never wanted to speak to them again, amongst other profanities. We where made homeless because of this. His things where thrown out on the street and he was un able to keep his job because of this. We where abused by them on a daily basis. Mainly by his mum and brother.

Now mother dear wants him back in her life, on her term of course, a quick apology over the phone and she blames her partner for her actions. Obviously nothing about this woman's apology is sincere. No apology to me of-course because I am the woman she wishes was thrown into a mincer.

She was a really bad mother to her kids, she did awful things, physically and mentally. Her kids are bought up to put mother dearest first no matter what. All of her Children have severe mental and problems that have also effected them physically. Of Corse its not her fault though, her kids are just weird and lazy for no reason. (those words are hers, not mine). I don't know how DHS let it happen.

So now to the point! I was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of repetitive child abuse. I feel that my PTSD has extended itself into this current situation. I am petrified of the situation and it gets to me every day of my life nearly, I do have good periods though where I don't think about it for a while. I thought it would go away in time but its getting worse to the point where I am terrorising myself.

They are out of our life and have been for nearly 2 years but they intrude in random spurts, I think I cant let it go because I'm waiting for the next attack or phone call or apology or what ever. I don't know how to turn this around, I shouldn't be scared and its making me feel sad and pathetic.

It makes me sad that he cant have his family because of me but I also know that if it didn't happen with me it would have happened to a different girl. This happens to all mother dearests children's partners apparently. My partner was mother dearests favourite so I got the worst punishment of them all.

How do I come out one top! How to I make this situation bearable and hopefully even an advantage?

I'm so scared and worried about the situation that its controlling me.

Maybe I have missed the point, but it seems to me that he cannot have his family because of HER not you. Don't take on the blame for her appalling behaviour and actions. You are both better off without her in your life. It is then up to your partner if he wants contact with select other family members. On his terms. Nothing to do with the evil mother.

I am guessing that your own PTSD is affecting your view on this matter? Remember that child abuse is never the child's fault. You are guilty of nothing. Don't let this evil woman persuade you any differently.

Are you in therapy? It would probably be helpful to tackle your negative thinking pattern. You do not need to live with this fear, but hold your head up high and enjoy life.

Best wishes,
Lucy
 
I am not in therapy. My doctor put me in therapy the moment I was diagnosed but I was ripped out of therapy after two sessions because we where forced to move away from his family.

Yes I think my PTSD is really messing with me. I feel strong but I also feel powerless for the intrusive thoughts.

Thank you about that comment on her LUCYCAT . I agree with you, but it seems most of her family don't see our side of the fence, they just let it all go over there shoulder. Its ok for me to put up with abuse but god forbid if anyone ever mistreat them. Because this woman is a child abuser she knows how to mentally upset and control her kids.

Maybe allot of that gets to me to because I see it and it makes me very scared and angry.

I'm so scared that my partner still wants her involved, and that's fair enough, but I'm just scared because I feel its true.I'm just waiting for the forgiveness to happen and then a repeat event.

It might be fair enough if your partner still wants himself to be involved with her. I don't think it's fair enough for your partner to involve her with you again, after all that happened.

I don't think you should have to see her, or have any contact with her. I don't think you should have to go to her home or let her come to yours. I don't think you should have to hear about her. Even if your partner does decide to be involved with her again, he can only make that decision for himself, not for you. If him seeing her affects your relationship, then I think you need to keep that as an issue between you and him, not between you and her.

Can you find another therapist now you've moved? Are there any obstacles in the way of doing that?

Thank you Hashi. Yes the woman has made a huge thing of getting in between us getting in on all of the gossip.

I just want peace and a sincere sorry woman. God forbid I ever request an apology from her because she probably blames me for everything. Its like an internal fight with myself and its awful because its not even my battle. I really just wish there was something that could change.

She goes on about her life pretending that none of her choices have made a difference. How does a mother go on about her life day to day as if there is not a problem in the world when she has clearly caused a war within her own family.

This is just evil to me. Maybe that's why she wont own it.
