Thank you so much reb0rn! I love this, I am going to print these off!:)

Wow I Love that scripture Topflite!

Amen to that PTSDMama you hit the nail on the head! :)

Amen Jkr8789. I know exactly how you feel. I firmly believe in the scripture "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight." Praying for you and your guy. I like to be in control of...

Yeah I agree Eleanor, today he is still edgy and somewhat interrogating and distrusting so I have avoided communication with him as much as possible. Because its like a time bomb I am just waiting for him to blow up again. So I fall into the walking on eggshells again. Ah yes, sometimes it...

Well I feel better then I did yesterday, thank you to all for your advice. I still am not really sure what to do my emotions and mind tell me one thing and my heart tells me another. He has apologized and is back to being nice to me now but I am on guard and kind of bitter and upset still. I am...

Yes I have actually been working on myself alot this past year, I tend to be very codependant and a caretaker type of person, always looking for those whom I can "fix" or "help". But I have really come a long way this past year and am continuing to work on that. He is a great guy when his PTSD...

Thanks everyone so much! You all have really helped encourage me today and get me thru the day. Wife of, Yes he is interrogating me, you are exactly right! I feel like I am on trial for something that I didn't even do! I am going to use those remarks such as "whats next water boarding". I like...

Thank you so much Eleanor for the prayers and encouragement. Usually I am lucky and it happens over the phone, but it doesn't end if I hang up, it carries on all day and night via text messages, facebook, phone calls. He won't stop, and it's so hard to not look at a text and see the as you...

Thank you Wife of and Magical. You are both right, it is his issues. I can't beat myself up, easier said then done but I am trying. But he keeps texting me and insisting that I tell him the truth and he keeps hammering into me all his suspicions about me and my past and telling me he can't be...

I don't get it, the last month has been great with my fiance's PTSD. Now our relationship may be over. I may have triggered his PTSD. I added back a friend on facebook that treated me badly a few years ago and said some bad things about him too. Maybe I am too forgiving, so I deleted her and...

Thank you so much navy spouse and Leweyoz! I cannot thank you all enough for your encouragment and support and advice. :)

Also I must say It is so refreshing to know that I am not the only one who goes thru this, that there are others out there that feel exactly how I feel. It makes it a little easier to know I am not alone.

Exactly Tabitha! I absolutley hate not knowing what to expect it is the most frustrating part for me too! It makes me want to pull my hair out!, And yes I do want to be in a relationship with someone that wants to do things with me. It is really frustrating because I know what we used to have...

Thanks NavySpouse Yes I have four older brothers, and it is even more frustrating trying to get them to help. It feels like the weight of the world has been put on my shoulders this week. Like God is really testing my endurance, and I wish he wouldn't LOL. My fiancee is trying to be supportive...

Thanks IvyMillie! He had an awesome relationship with my kids for the first couple years of our relationship, just recently when he developed worsening symptoms of PTSD he has backed off the kids and now has just seemed to become really distant and not caring so much if it progresses. That is...

Thanks Jax22 My fiancee was an Army Ranger. But yes the same thing for him, Vetrans day week was horrible for him, the holidays are really bad for him too. And its the same thing, one week he is wonderful, the the next week he is distant and cold and tells me we are more like friends. Since we...

Thank you so much, exactly right on! I have been putting being a supporter for him on the back burner for right now because I have way to much on my plate and feel like I am going to have a nervous breakdown from all the stress. So right now I am worrying about my parents, my mom just had...

Thank you everyone. I know your all right. I had to vent last night, and I thank you all for listening and your advice. You all are the best!! :D I am working on setting boundaries it is so hard,and I am so stressed about how he reacts about my kids right now that the mom in me is getting...

He actually drinks just about every day and uses drinking as a coping method for his PTSD. He is on no meds.Youre probably right the hot and cold is usualy having to do with the drinking as well. I try to avoid him when I know he has been drinking which is usually just about every evening. I...

I love this letter, I read it several times a week just to encourage me and remind me and reinform me when I feel hopeless or drained. In fact I just read it again now. :D

Why is my sufferer good one day and loving and the next he is completley the opposite! I feel like I am at my wits end with him! I had such a bad day today, my parents were in a car accident totalled there car broke there hands, on top of it my mom has border line dementia so I take care of...

Today after I took the kids to school I went and enjoyed breakfast by myself. It was sooo nice :) I am really starting to get attached to this alone time with myself :) Tomorrow I have a hair appointment ! Yay me! LOL

Hi Jaxx, My opinion from my own experience is that he needs to go to therapy to actually learn to manage his PTSD. PTSD never fully goes away but there are ways to manage it. If you don't set boundaries on what you will accept you will end up on a roller coaster of a relationship. I am...

This hit home for me. What a great post! I am currently in therapy working on not being codependent and I have really come pretty far with it. I can say I agree 100% with you Nicolette. I can see things in a whole new light now that I am finding myself becomming more independant. One thing I...
