I wouldn't suggest it is a grand or sweeping statement, merely an observation. Neither am I suggesting that my experiences are universal. How can they be? They are mine. I also haven't said every supporter is a victim of abuse. That being out of the way, it is clear from having read the many...
My now ex-partner has suffered with CPTSD for so many years now. I eventually left the relationship because I realized that I was just her punch bag. I had no more emotional strength for her outbursts or her rants; no more love for the person who just saw me as a target for her anger, and no...
The light is good 😊
I'm not seeing it yet. Too much has happened. I'm still at the relationship trauma vs missing the woman I love, so it's very early days and I admit that I'm not feeling that emotionally strong after everything that's happened. Work is busy and the TIA has physically taken it...
Thanks for that joeylittle 🙂
We used to live with her Schizotypal issues but I always wondered where the short fuse and extreme anger came from. The anger itself was always psychotic. She would change her stance, her voice (her voice didn't change because of shouting. No, it changed into...
Interesting! I had a bipolar kind of existence for years. I gave up everything which would change my brain chemistry; coffee, cigarettes, tea, and alcohol. It made a difference in a couple of weeks! Aspartame is very bad for your digestion and colon cancer is a genuine risk! Being hurt now that...
I wonder if I am in the midst of similar feelings as you even though the situation is a little different. It sounds like our partners have brought us to the same place of questioning, what if's and trying to make sense of the senseless even though you know and I know it will hurt us more. Love...
She was diagnosed years ago with Schizotypal and roads are a trigger back to a car accident she was in. She refuses to cross roads on many occasions and, whilst it is totally impractical, I can understand why. Because of the Schizotypal she hears voices, sees connections between things, receives...
So can it be understood as having a bad day every day? The explosions used to happen about once a month but more recently they were happening almost every day. I have genuinely looked at myself to make sure I'm not to blame. Maybe I'm missing something obvious as she told me she wasn't like this...
That's sad and very human at the same time. How are you now?
I'm amazed that the human race is still here given it's well crafted ability to destroy itself! If we could conquer jealousy and blame, maybe we would be in with a chance.
A hug back to you...
I did that several times but she never gave a straight answer. I told her I would be happy working together with a therapist with her (when she and the therapist wanted me there too for some sessions) so we could find out how to navigate this thing together. I was going to pay for it as the NHS...
I think we have similar views on the exquisite vulnerability which is genuine love. It is almost a form of sacrifice. I do think it is the natural way for the woman to choose the man and if people examined their own relationship they might find it's true of them too.
What happened regarding the...
The one thing I just don't get is that she is genuinely loving and gentle when everything is okay but as soon as the slightest, little, tiny thing happens she changes. The change takes about 2 minutes from lovely to monster and I can see it happening each time. In fact everyone who knows her can...
I guess with unexpected flirting the person doing the flirting has to accept that it won't necessarily be the right time for the person he or she is attempting to flirt with. How do you feel about being flirted with when you are expecting it, enjoying the attention from someone you are...
Thanks for that 🤗
Thank you scout86. I didn't consider she was actually choosing to do something so horrible. Well, that's not strictly true. I'm cursed with being a Heyoka Empath (and I mean cursed right now) so felt the anger and sensed the free choice in her behavior BUT I couldn't believe...
Thanks for that Friday. I'm over in the UK but courts and the police are pretty much the same the world over. The first lawyer I had was worse than useless so I now have one who is a self confessed police hater and prosecution hater and loves nothing better than to rip them apart in court!
