    Sufferer Looking to be heard, PTSD from childhood abuse

    Welcome to the forum. I’m sorry you had to go through all that. Are you going to therapy at all. I see you have had a bad experience with a therapist. I hope you can see that the sadistic therapist wasn’t their for you or to treat you, but to work for the system. Finding your own therapist...

    Death Father Died Yesterday

    I’m sorry you have to experience this confusing time. I’m sure it’s hard to feel a loss, when there’s a sense of freedom connected to it. After being in therapy a couple of times, I got to a place where I could say, I loved my father but not his behaviour. You are an extremely strong woman...

    Relationship I’ve left him and he doesn’t care

    Sorry to hear he got off. I know it didn’t work out the way you wish it did. But you did get to use your voice. You spoke your truth and that’s big in its self. It’s now on record, for when he does it to his new gf. You stood up to him and showed him , you are truly done with his bullshit...

    Relationship First Responder Husband With Severe PTSD Has Left 3 Times

    I can give you that happy ending, but it’s not an easy road and you can’t walk it alone. I’m married to a first responder also. He didn’t cheat but I lived in hell. I think the only reason we are were we are today, is because we both worked hard to get here. The only way to turn it around, is...

    Relationship Struggling with partner going through this tough time

    For right now maybe your communication can be through text or email. My SO found it easier that way for a bit. Part because, he could go back as many times as needed to process what a I was saying. It also gave him time to think about his response in a clear way. As his symptoms lessened, the...

    Relationship And it has all kicked off - he is shouting at me, swearing, my tummy is in knots. He has locked the back door so I cant even get into the house.

    Yep this^ let’s be honest. You don’t have to put up with it. This is abuse and control. Your supporting the house hold, kick his ass out the door, until he gets his sh*t together. You don’t have to put up with his yelling at you. Walk away, leave him to deal with his own emotions. Take care of...

    Accomplishment. Supporter Unhappy.

    I’m hoping it’s ok to add to the conversation, being a supporter myself. One of the hardest things for supporter is not to take thing personally. It takes time and work on our part to get to that place. You said in the beginning of the friendship you fell back into a behaviour you wanted to...

    What i would say to my inner child.

    Have you tried to talk to your inner child at that time. Having your adult self come forward to talk and show your inner child, that you ( adult self) will protect her ( inner child). I hope I explain it in an understanding way?

    Should I let my ex husband yell at me to keep the peace?

    I just wanted to point out. He is your ex husband. The only contact you need to have with him is about his son. That’s it. The relationship between him and his son, is just that. His son and him and if he’s not filling his side of responsibilities. Get your son in therapy to help him. It seems...
