    My husband says that i'm selfish

    This is what really strained my last relationship. I had moved to another state to be with him, I didnt know anybody and had no support from home, and he was the only friend I had. I understand how it feels :(!

    My husband says that i'm selfish

    Be gentle with yourself. This is normal and part of our process. We are human. Can I suggest journaling your feelings or even writing your husband a letter? There should be an agreement between you two about name calling bc it's not helpful to either of you..

    My husband says that i'm selfish

    I had the same conversation with my ex about me "not being enough". Remember your husband has flaws too whether he wants to recognize them or not. This isn't all you. Dont take that on... I hope you're doing okay

    My husband says that i'm selfish

    :) arguments happen. We say things we don't mean. We regret it. We feel responsible or we feel victimized, usually both. We are just human. We are no better we are no less. I think the best advice I can give is probably the hardest, and that is to forgive yourself and don't take what he...

    My husband says that i'm selfish

    Woah! No no no. This is not true. I've never seen a smudge of bitchiness from you. This sounds entirely unfair to you as a person, someone managing a disorder of the brain. Did he call you a bitch? My ex bf responded this way too. He still thinks I'm an evil, cruel, mean, selfish, bitchy...

    My husband says that i'm selfish

    He's pretty upset about something sounds like... I'm sorry he's dealing with his negative emotions by saying cruel things to you. You don't deserve it. People without ptsd can't really comprehend it. Hugs

    Does facebook trigger you? (if not, i could use your insight!)

    Facebook is evil, imho. It's fake, it's full of ego and provokes shame and dishonesty. No thanks. Deleted it years ago, I hate to say it but I actually look down on people who love it... ugh shame on me

    How do you stop been triggered by girl children/teens

    Spiraling

    Not to get off topic, but... do therapists not like to deal w BPD? Before I knew i had PTSD I thought I had BPD. I called looking for therapists and once I disclosed I was BPD (I'm actually not, my mistake), the therapist said "Ok look,I don't take any s#!@!". I was shocked... I thought the...

    Spiraling

    Her attitude/stance on self harm seems highly uneducated. No, therapists shouldn't be supportive of SH, but they should not punish their clients with threats if they engage in this coping technique. I see why you don't want to leave her right now. Can you see someone else on the side, so to...

    Extremely jaded; lack of hope

    Hello. First off, I apologize for the tone of this thread. However I feel like I need solid advice. Or something. As things have unraveled around me, I am approaching new avenues. My relationship ended, which I had moved myself and my child to another state. So I am grateful to have found an...

    I don’t want to pay this woman to chit chat. what’s she doing?

    I had a therapist do this too. I later found out she was trying to get me to relax and find a level of comfort and familiarity with her so we could approach the deeper stuff.. it also got on my nerves until I understood she had a purpose behind it

    Parent expects to be parented

    Totally relate... now in June Im moving her in with me from another state because her house is being foreclosed on, she's disabled and none of my siblings will help her. I know she's going to drive me insane. Luckily she is old enough to find a senior living place but she wants me to figure...

    Does anyone else deal with a parent who expects to be taken care of and gets emotionally abusive when their mind and needs aren't read?

    I guess my only obstacle at the moment is childcare. But I will figure that out in order to do the work I have to do

    Total alcoholic, can't stop

    Thank you all. I was resistant to the idea of AA but now am thinking it might be what I need... what are some of your experiences with AA? How did it help you? Thanks for the support guys, you're all amazing :)

    Jealous of your therapist

    I think it's funny how my t made me feel so similar to her, like we had a similar life. Then she shares how her and her dad went on a spiritual retreat not too long ago and how for years they've had their own two person book club and talk for hours on the phone about what they read. She tells...
