I've asked him before if he wanted to read them and he was upset I was "sharing our business". He didn't see why I need the support. I wish he would read them. The change in my posts over time was interesting for me to read and think would put things into perspective for him. Maybe one day...

Ah. I forgot to mention the drinking is a major problem on the bad days. I think sobriety and medication management combine with exercise and nutrition could go a long way.

I appreciate you so thoroughly sharing your story. I feel jumbled in where to respond! First my personal testimony is similar to yours in the sense I began dating my significant other long distance through mutual friends and he has since moved to my city and we live together (2 years long...

Everyone has captured my feelings so well! It is a constant battle between what it is real and what is not. It is one thing to hear the words "I love you" and very different to feel them. I can remember back when I felt deep love from him truly into my core and now it is as if we exist in the...

This thread is so wonderful. I feel as if I am reading some of my own thoughts. There is a daily struggle of boundaries and emotions. I do not have the energy to share today but I am so grateful for those of you who do--who make me feel like I am not alone.

Im so happy to see you finding your way. I'm glad there are cater groups near one. One thing you touched on that I have been wondering a lot about lately are those times when we need extra support for other reasons. We all have life stressors that can be incredibly challenging. Part of any...

Hey mama! Welcome to Ohio ;) it's not so bad I promise. My sufferer has had a really hard time finding someone he likes at the Columbus VA. Also being a student treatment is hard during classes. As you have said it takes a lot out of you and can be hard to refocus on school. In hoping summer...

This weekend we celebrate a fundraiser related to the loss of a fellow service member. As a supporter of a partner with PTSD and the family member of the fallen, this weekend is always a tricky one to navigate. First and I foremost I am a supporter. I'm a supporter through the crowded airports...

Angel--your post brought a smile to my face! It was not too much advice at all. It was good to hear. Thank you so much for responding. Some days it gets hard to see the future and have hope, so appreciate someone who has good news to share from the other side.

Reading all these responses leaves me feeling understood and conflicted. To me sex is an important part of a relationship--and it used to be an important part of this one in particular. My sufferer is dealing with combat ptsd not something related to sexual abuse. And when he is having...

Thank you for your words of inspiration and hope. I think hearing that is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the positive attitude and positives will come your way.

How as supporters are we supposed to master this dance? We can do our best to let things go and remain silent, but peace keeping will only last so long. Even if we are the most perfect supporter and inevitable trigger will arise. To what end do we sacrifice our right to argue and our right to...

It is such an interesting feeling reading words written by someone else that feel like they could be coming from my own thoughts. I experience something so similar. That sick feeling when you know you are on the downward cycle. It hits you like a punch in the gut because you were finally...
