Hello again, sorry I didn't see this page earlier! I was a law student and I researched what you said about your husband claiming spousal abuse... From what I have read, for him to do that there needs to be police and medical evidence of the abuse; if not, then there needs to be witnesses...

Dear Kerrie- Ann Alex and I have two fully grown mangoe trees in our yard... If you send me your address to my jcu email account ([email protected]) I will post some down for you. Apparently they will be ready to be picked in the next two weeks... So by the time they get to you, they...

Dear Dazed, I read your post and my heart goes out to you one hundred per cent. I wish I could make your husband wake up to himself and be there for you and especially your son. What you need to remember is that him hitting your child is not right, for any one no matter the mental turmoil they...

Well Jackson went to his dads today and Alex and I had a really relaxing time together, I fell asleep. When I woke up he had made a real effort to get things done around the house. I am putting it all down to the depression factor. I know that at times a can be quite lazy as well; so I can't...

My son is the product of an earlier relationship so he's at his fathers from wednesday night til midday thursday and sunday night til midday monday. Most of the other times I am at uni my mum watches him. Like you seem to be with your daughter I am very close to my mum- she is my best friend. I...

I am writing to ask advice from any one. I have just had the worst two days of my life- at east that's how it seems right now. For those of you who don't know me, I am a full time uni student, a full time mum to a one year old and I am now 18 weeks pregnant again. My partner was discharged from...

Dear Jen My partner and I also did the course with Martha and the gang, and the partner sessions really did help me. I understand that you may not be able to get time off from work to attend though; I just wanted to let you know that if you ever feel the need to talk to other partners face to...

To veiled, I am sure your hubby would say things similar to those written; I am sure that he understands, just as those around you do, that the mood swings come and go. And it is true that children are a product of their parents- so if your hubby says you're doing a good job (which is what I...

I handed it to everyone who had asked and I think they understand a little better now...

I don't know about other partners but I am always being asked "why do you stay?" I sat down and really thought about it one night, and I wrote a poem to explain it. I hope it helps other partners faced with the same question... A runaway train without a working track A cup that fills and...

I am new to the whole mother thing (my son just turned one) but I know that when my partner is having a mood swing in the bad direction, my baby becomes withdrawn and won't go near him. I don't know if he has picked this up from me or whether he just knows its best to stay away. I am scared...

It's Another Boy Well, at the moment Alex's Dad is up from Newcastle; thankfully we get along really well. We took him to our scan yesterday; we are now 17 weeks and four days along, and we are having another boy! Apparently my disappointment was evident but I think I handled it ok. And now I...

It has been a while It is good to finally catch up again. Alex and I found out that Herb and Kylie split in a terrible way. We ran into Kylie in the shopping centre and invited them to my 21st (in July) and she told us then. Apparently they are still on speaking terms though... You might...

Dear Cheryl, I attended the PTSD course run by the Mater Hospital in Townsville. During this course, women had their own special time together to discuss their frustrations and the wide array of all other emotions. What I remember most from those sessions is this... the lady who ran those...

hi Jen, It is a good thing that your hubby is starting the course. and congratulations on making the 25 year mark. I've just passed one year, and it was hard, so 25 years is like a bit of a nightmare and a dream for me. If it is at all possible, I strongly recommend attending the women's...

hello everyone, It has certainly been a while for me. I am embarrassed to admit, I have been having computer problems and didn't know how to fix them. Some of you may remember me; I am the partner of PTSD cohort 18 participant Alex Barber. Those who know me know that when Alex and I started...

Hello Anthony, Kerrie- Ann and Boys, Well our family has come along well since we last saw you. The army is still stuffing us around but what's new? Alex finally convinced me to go and see a doctor and I did and now I am on anti- depressants to; the doctor said it could be post natal! You are...

Hi Alana, I also have a partner with PTSD and I know that knowing other partner's who put up with the same stuff makes it so much easier. If you are in the Townsville area by any chance and you don't feel comforatbale with writing things on line I am here to talk to or vent at. Let me know if...
