    General Advice On Ptsd, Video Games W/ Buddies

    My dad does the exact same thing your boyfriend does.(my dad has aspergers) As soon as he gets home from work (he's in IT so he's on computers all day) he comes home and doesn't do anything but video games. He acts like it's the end of the world if someone asks him to do any small thing. He...

    General Advice On Ptsd, Video Games W/ Buddies

    PTSD or not, the way your boyfriend has been treating you is unacceptable. You should tell him how you feel.

    Love In The Wake Of Trauma

    You are not a horrible person. I know how you feel. I often feel guilty because I feel like I can't help those I love because of what I'm dealing with. It doesn't make you a bad person.
