Thank you very much for your reply. I don't have a problem talking about what is going on. I just want it to stop. I do feel like she is worth the effort. I just don't know where my line is right now.

I don't know about your wife, but when in the middle of a PTSD episode, my wife make all kinds of wild statements. She's going to stop all counseling, never going to do this or that again, I hate _________ and on and on, but she keeps going and always seems come out of it although she insists...

Thank you for your reply. She is starting day nine of her latest episode. I think her record is ten. I went to my counselor yesterday. He described her behavior as extreme. I told him I wasn't going to hurt myself, but I told him if I died today I wouldn't care. For the first time he began...

About every week to two weeks there is an episode. Anger, withdrawal from everybody. What do you do when a suffer tells you to get the F away from her, but doesn't really want you to leave?

I am a fixer. My wife has complex PTSD. I knew it before we married. It's become worse since marrying. I go to a counselor so I don't hurt myself. She goes to a counselor, but says she only goes for me. She does not like what she does and knows she needs help. There are multiple triggers. She's...
