Was feeling fine earlier. Now the shakes and trembles are coming. I don't know why. I feel very tearful and badly need a hug.

If that doesn't count as multi-tasking then I don't know what does! Don't worry GF. We're all here for each other.

I'm also quite isolated and know exactly what you mean. I don't know how to have normal conversations without too much coming out.

Feeling very detached today like I'm looking at me from outside. It's a strange feeling. I think I'm trying to avoid the stress. Does anyone else get this kind of feeling?

Is this 3pm GMT? I'd really like to join this from the UK.

Sad, sad, sad.

Britt, I think we all inspire each other. Hang in there. You're doing great.

All feelings for wife are now dead. She feels dead to me and I'm treating her like that. I just can't help it. It's like a PTSD superpower in times of total stress. I wish it wasn't so but I have tried everything. She told the kids yesterday and it was like a stake through my heart. I feel...

I am feeling happy because my kids are finally home having been away since Boxing Day. I feel sad because my wife is still planning on leaving and she wants us to tell the kids. I don't want this and I can't lie to the kids and say we've decided.

Feeling very shakey and emotional today. Unable to sleep last night didn't help

HaHa. I love it. It sums things up completely.

Well, not a good day today. I posted about our divorce on FB several days ago because there is just no way back. I'm being blamed for my PTSD and held responsible for everything I've said and done whilst she's giving a "poor me" version to her friends. I announced it very carefully and...

I find myself stopping for a second or two to swallow the feelings and ask people to bear with me. I explain it's just part of the issue and to give me a second or to to get myself together. They want to understand but can see the emotions and realize that what I'm saying has value. Those that...

A complicated day today. This afternoon I was invited to a 50th Birthday party. It was fab and I met some really nice people. I was fine until somebody asked me if I enjoyed Christmas. Before I knew it, the divorce and the Falklands and PTSD all came out and I was a bit of a mess. The...

Wow. A bad day (a typical day). HUGS

We love you because we can/do. You contribute to our lives and hopefully we contribute to yours. You are an inspiration to me and I love you for it

Jeez, Tonight I'm in a place with alarm bells and inbound missile attacks. Feeling very emotional and not in a good place.

Wow Sheila. I know you're right. She is being so hardened about this. Whatever my faults and the PTSD, she knows that I love her unconditionally, I'm a good dad and I provide for my family...even with her deliberately dismantling the marriage I still do. My PTSD has got worse this year because...

Part of the problem is that I don't think anyone is advising her (except maybe her mother)

Today I feel very puzzled. My wife has gone to her Mother's with the kids for a week and I'm left to reflect on what's going on. I'm looking forward to starting therapy in a week or so but I can't help wondering if my wife has PTSD too. Her behaviour is very irrational. She's also very...

Totally mixed emotions. Taking all the hugs I can get right now. Thanks Guys/Gals. Wife still unrelentingly "outta here" but trying to hang on to a friendship for our 3 boys.

I'm feeling very sad. I've enjoyed watching the kids play today and get so excited before Christmas but it's our our last Christmas together. It's also my eldest's birthday. My wife is totally unrelenting in the "I've had enough and there's nothing left" response to any of my requests. I...

Ditto. I dread Christmas. My mother was an alcoholic and just about every Christmas was ruined when I was a kid. I've had girlfriends dump me on Christmas Eve and now I have a divorce on my hands. Joy! Hugs to you Traumagirl.

Unable to sleep and feeling very down. For the first time in my life I'm starting to numb someone out of my life that I don't want to. It feels shitty but I can feel her just slipping away. What a pointless, tragic and avoidable waste.

Well, today I have a very strange feeling. I'm feeling a bit like a naughty school boy. I was going through my bank direct debits trying to work out mine and hers for the imposed divorce. I came across a payment that I didn't recognize so I rang the company to find out what it was. It was a...
