@joeylittle, my journey home came to an end many years ago, but I still have the nightmares to remind me. My wife on the other hand repressed all memory of her lifetime of trauma, or an alter stepped forward to respond to the threats against her life, for 26 years. It took another traumatic...

@hangingon, I am of the opinion that if your sufferer says they need space, you should honor that request. As hard as it is, they are going through much worse. It is ok to hope for the best, as long as you accept that that may not be the outcome. I'm sorry for your pain. Please stay, hang out...

@Cj77, if you have faith that your T is the person that can help you, then yes it will help you get past it, accept that it happened to, learn to live alongside of that pert of your life, and move on with the rest of your life. I speak from 1st hand experience. And it sounds to me you have that...

@joeylittle, when I went through my trauma therapy back in the early 70's they didn't diagnose me with PTSD, but they would today. Is it possible that, while you remembered some of your trauma (prior to being diagnosed) you repressed part of it also? Or an alter lived with it? These are the...

@Catlady, I wish you the best but you must prepare yourself for the worst. If someone told me "they can't be in a relationship with with me" I'd be very protective of my heart around them. When my wife first started in therapy and her trauma memories started coming back she would tell me "I...

I tend to agree with what @sigh said, I've found that even when my wiife is at her "most f**ked-upednes" she still needs to know that when her world settles down a little, I'll still be there and I'll still love her just as much. Everyone does isolation differently. Some people want absolutely...

@Catching_him, hey there, how's it going? Haven't heard from you in a while. Are things OK?

He literally saved my life after I put three 5" long slices in each wrist. I should have died that night. Now I know why God made me live.. He needed me to be the one to help my wife once her "snow globe world came crashing down" on her.

Thank you Cj77, But like my trauma T said when I went through my years of therapy HELL, "none of us has any say in what family we are born into, All we can do is hope God has our backs".

@Cj7, my mother was never abusive to me or my brothers, (that I know of) she saved that for my sisters. To my knowledge it was not sexual in nature either, (that was my fathers cross to bear) only physical and psychological. The thing that left the biggest scar on my memory is the day my older...

I'm so very sorry anyone, especially on this site, would even presume to have the right to tell you or anyone else how to handle their trauma. We all handle it the way that is best for US, not anyone else. That's how we move on, recover and heal. It makes me angry that someone here passed...

Hey Bubbles215, you're right it really does suck, but it makes getting back together even sweeter. Hang in there, he'll come around when he's ready.

@Amack, I'm so happy to see that your sufferer is getting the treatment he needs to beat the addiction problem. A lot of people with mental health issues attempt to escape them though self medication. I know this from first person experience. Hopefully the teatment program your sufferer is in...

@Bubbles215, Happy belated B-day. I hope you're feelng a wee bit better today. Just remember, there are others in this wold that do care about you and wish you well.

@void, I couldn't agree with you more. And you said it so elegantly. (lLOL)

@BrokenWoman, I'm so happy for you. I wish you all the best.

@BrokenWoman, I am so sorry you had to liive through such a thing. I have no idea why some people are so f**en cruel. Sometimes I wonder what they would think/feel if it happened to them. Please take care, and no more guns for you young lady.

It's easy when you get a couple CLOWNS like us going.

Sighs, I think you are right to ask to go with him to see his P. and ask for his help with this issue. I have sat in on many sessions with mmy wife's T to get ahead of different issues. Every time I have it's helped. She isn't always happy about it, but her T says I have his concent to do it...

@Ragdoll Circus very adult and very dignified.:joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful:

@FridayJones, Congadulations!!!!! This is really huge. I'm very happy for you. I'm sure this is really scary, exciting, TOO much to handle, all mixed in together. But I'm sure it wil be great once things sette down and you get into a rutine. Once again let me say CONGRATULATIONS!

@britty08, I agree with many of the other respoders here. You MUST take care of your self first. Your own safety is the most important thing for you to be concerned with. That said, you might be able to find some help for him through a backdoor. Have you, (or he) ever been in contact with the...

@moonwaves, Welcome to the forum. I'm positive you will find lots of support and people who really get it here. Look around at the different forum topics, find people who have had simular experiences, and just start talking to everyone you can. It really makes a BIG difference when you...

Ragdoll Circus, as the supporter of the victim of 20+ years of horrifc trauma, I would beg you not to just let the "4 year old junk" go unprocessed. It will come back to bite you in the rearend somewhere down the line

Sorry I got th screen name backwards, ( LOL).:)
