Hi Scout, Thanks for your reply and sharing. I know where you are coming from. I had problems in my family too. Only I got out, figured it all out for myself and detached and boy did I pay the price. I was dis-inherited and only have a relationship with one of my siblings. Had a brief...

Hi Scout, Thank you for your reply and kind words. I have done lots of research on narcissists and I agree with you. Her son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was younger about 6. As he grew older, in the time I was in his life, I noticed that it seemed his behaviour was .worsening. His bio father...

Hi Sweetpea, Thanks again for your kind words and advice. At the moment I am not in a good place myself. I know I have to be strong for my daughter and my wife. I don't wish to sound selfish woe is me and I know my wife is in an even worse place than me. I even wonder if she's just had enough of...

Thanks for your honesty and replies. I guess I'll have to let her have the divorce and wait to see what happens in time. I read on another thread that they sometimes go back to relationships with their abusers? I don't want to sound crazy but I think her adult children would like that. Sort of...

I could contest the divorce and refute the unreasonable behaviour allegations. If I do that there's still no guarantee that she will change her mind. She is also withholding her share of the domestic finances which means that the house would have to be sold as I can't pay the mortgage and bills...

Yes, you got it. Untreated PTSD driving hard for divorce egged on by her family. Me and my daughter have no chance. She wants to put the house on the market by the end of the week and our financial disclosure papers to the lawyers asap. Heck who needs to wait to start treatment and see where we...

She has been assessed by a mental health unit who have said she has extreme c-ptsd. She is awaiting a appointment to start treatment it could be another 9-10 weeks. She said they discussed CBT and EMDR as possible treatments. She won't entertain couples therapy she says it's all crap.

Hi Sweetpea, You say Push-Pull, it seems all push right now. I saw the link on the stress cup, surely the added stress from a divorce is only going to make things worse for her? Financially we don't have the money for a divorce. She says she wants this but I don't think she is being rational...

Hi Sweetpea, Thanks for your reply. I have trawled the internet, youtube, etc, since she was first diagnosed looking for info and answers. I do realise that she and only she can help herself. At the moment she is hell bent on this divorce and isn't able to see the consquences of what will happen...

Thanks for our reply Lucy. The way this whole thing came on has been quite a shock. My wife's family have gone no contact with me and apart from my daughter I have no support. Both me and my daughter feel like we've been hit by a freight train. God only knows how my poor wife is feeling. Philx

Hi, I'm new here. I apologise for the long blog but this is my story and I have to vent. Ok where to start. I met my wife 10 years ago , she had been married before and had four kids between Ages 21-10. The marriage was abusive physically, sexually and emotionally. I knew only what she had...

Hi I'm new to this. My wife was diagnosed with cptsd 3 months ago. She told me she didn't love me anymore and didn't like me. We've been together 10 years married nearly 4. We had a very happy marriage. Her cptsd was caused by extreme domestic violence. I told he I wanted to be there for her...
