Hi A few weeks ago I asked my cptsd partner for a hug when I was feeling down. All I needed at the time was 'Its ok darling, I'm here for you'. Instead she got angry, verbally/emotionally abusive and went into a tirade of bizzare untrue personal attacks. I was so hurt by that. Not only was I...

My ex and I finished our relationship a week ago. I'm in the process of trying to figure out what went wrong and how I could have been better. I was generally very strong for her but one thing has been really puzzling. Can anyone shed anyone light on why my ex would be angry at me for asking...

After 7 months I finished with my partner this week when in a verbal tirade she questioned I had not been honest about my business and finances. She said one of her friends had been making enquiries about me and could not find any details of me at my home address. I also work from home and she...

I tried and tried so hard to support my sufferer over the festive period. I'm back home from her house now, 3 days early, alone on new years eve, wondering what has happened. My sufferer has seemed to be getting emotionally distant recently, despite saying that she loved me on many occasions...

Hi, I wonder how I can deal with verbal attacks that come just before my partner goes into a shut out? For example, my partner will pick up on my weaknesses, hurts and vulnerabilities, and kind of fire them at me in a tirade just before she goes into a shut out. Some other times the things she...

My SO finished with me yesterday. My heart is breaking. We were together 6 months, I know that doesn't sound long but after 3 months we were deeply in love with each other. We told each other regularly. We were very close and open with each other. Even two weeks ago she told her friend she had...
