Happy holidays, whatever you choose to celebrate (or not at all!) to one and all. May your celebrations be...well, as stress-free as possible! ??? *hands out Irish coffee*

Well, it's been almost 2 years since my dad died and my life went to hell. To recap: Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on Thanksgiving 2016, and died on December 14th (about 3 weeks later). I didn't get home on time to see my dad before he died - he thought he'd have until after...

It's been quiet the last couple of weeks, on the supporter section here, and even at home. I'll be taking some time off from the board - moving day for me is around the corner, but before that happens, I'll be gone for over a week, helping my mom move as well. So in the next week, I have to...

I should have known this would happen - and, to be fair to myself - kind of did warn him; he, of course, didn't believe me, and who am I to argue about his benefits anymore? He did dump me, after all. Soon to be ex was injured on the job, and has already gotten a settlement from the state (his...

Mind reading was a thing, ya know? Being able to just *know* the truth of the matter, without having to talk it out or try to negotiate through the quagmire of mental illness. I would love to be able to inject into my husband's head that I'm not his enemy, and that there are SO MANY people out...

An update on hubby and I. After a pretty tense couple of days, maybe some positive? After he declared on Tuesday he's done, I gave him exactly what he wanted, his space. I did not initiate conversations with him, didn't pester him for anything, no good night or good bye or hello unless he was...

Here's a conundrum for me. Husband obviously has untreated PTSD. He's been formally diagnosed, probably in his 20s? And again now, with our current marriage counselor. He pushes his family (sister and a half-brother and half-sister) and children (three kids, two grown and one a senior in high...

Well, hubs has decided he's done. It's "absolutely me, not PTSD" deciding this. He told me in our couples counseling today, after a pretty good weekend of just being relaxed and together when we wanted, apart when he needed. He just can't, wants to be alone. I appealed to his logic (since that's...

So my second post – and I’ll dive right in. Incoming wall of text, I apologize in advance. Looking back, it all kind of figures in…I am very sorry if this is way too much. I have held so much of this in for so long, and I need a perspective other than my own and my therapist. Thank you if you...

Hi there - I'm new to the lingo of this site (and PTSD in general?), but I'm hoping it will be a good place to support the supporter, as it were, and to learn more about PTSD, and hopefully, even figure out how to save my marriage. My husband (46, a veteran, though the PTSD as far as I know is...
