He's gone dark on me after 7 months. He's even skipped my birthday. He hasn't bothered to even break up with me. What do I do to bide my time? I can't decide if I should be letting him go or holding space. The never ending struggle of the supporter. The last time, I let him go because I...

Having a rough day....I didn't see any thread for this so I thought I'd start one. It seems a lot of my coping mechanisms are broken right now. I had a lot of personal turmoil in my life the past month, not related to my boyfriend with PTSD, but he's had a lot going on, too, and has not been...

My boyfriend of 6 months finally went back to work a few weeks ago. Joblessness triggered some horrible PTSD symptoms for him. This group helped me understand his behavior and how to work with him instead of against him. It helped me see that his reactions were not because of me. Now I have...

I spend most of my time chatting as a supporter. I have an issue in my personal life, completely unrelated to my sufferer, that is causing me trauma. I am being stalked. My Sufferer, L, knows about this and has from the day he met me. Law enforcement is involved 100%. L works in family...

Ugh...what a day. At 4am L. got up for a drink of water, a few minutes later he had a broken leg. He suffered the beginning of an aortic aneurysm causing him to black out fall, and obtain the injury. He had to call 911 for help, as we don't live together and he didn't tell me he was hurt...

I just wanted to take a few minutes to appreciate some accomplishments L and I have enjoyed the past month. First of all, he tried getting out more and signed up to be an extra in a movie. This put him in a group of about 15 strangers all day. It forced him out of his shell and he held his...

Hi friends. I joined today, but have been reading some threads for a few weeks. Namely this one: Isolation What Do I Do Now? Thank you for all your inputs to help me understand my new boyfriend's behavior. I never understood that going silent for days/weeks/months at a time was a thing. The...
