Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
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...
Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of support here from both sides.
My hubby had a hard time being at home also do to the stress cup. I approach him with an agreement.
Any talk about our relationship would never be done in our home.
If we needed to talk it was done in counselling or we would...
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...
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...
Pinterest has many, many recipes. I lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks. I feel so much better. I have more energy and my moods have been great. I would say,” just be prepared. Have your meals planned. ?
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

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...
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...
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...
I’m sorry for your pain. She let go of someone who loved and tried to understand and support her. Please take care of yourself, put yourself first now. Go to the gym, reconnect with friends. Live your life!
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?
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...
