Part of the symptomology of PTSD is the victim of PTSD goes through cycles. When the victim of PTSD is in the cycle of feeling they are overcoming, part of their mentality is that they do not need anybody, they can feel that they do not even have PTSD, they are in denial, they can attack any...

You need to take control of the money. Do not think that you are being unreasonable. With your wife having these traits, do not believe you are acting in a controlling way, you are simply being wise. For example, if your wife continues to overspend on clothing, guess who she will blame for...

You need to take control of the money.

I would love to be there taking care of my grandsons. We live in TN. My grandson is in the hospital in CA. I do not have the luxury of being able to take a leave of absence from my work.

There is a lot to going for a walk, a long walk, or jog or run. Walking does relieve stress. Exercise also helps so much. The lyrics of the song by the Eagles "Well, I'm running down the road, Tryin' to loosen my load ..." Do I ever understand these lyrics now! Also, running to get away...

This passage is from verses in context from my verse for today. Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for...

It seems to me that a common thread that individuals with PTSD share, is that it is common for PTSD sufferers to project anger outward. Am I correct in my assumption? Maybe the way my wife copes with her PTSD, is for her to constantly blame me for anything that is not perfect. Again, what do...

Great to hear that you are getting a reprieve from the assult! I find it challenging to separate the accuser from the sister, and it is in those times my emotions are stirred. I continue to pray for you, your wife and your marriage daily. God is more than able to recreate your marriage into...

Hope and praying that you and your wife are better!

Everyone is up tight. Our grandson had another MRI and the results came back unchanged. This is +/- because, although he is not getting worse, the antibiotics are also not improving his condition.

The conflict that errupted was that I asked my son to get a baby sitter for his two sons or take his two sons with him and our daughter-in-law as they were within 5 blocks of their home and their sons, because my daughter-in-law also needed a break from the hospital and she was getting her...

For the last week, my wife has been with the two of our grandchildren that our second son and daughter-in-law have, while our daughter-in-law is staying in the hospital with their third son. My wife (with PTSD), is watching our two grandsons, non-stop, for the last week. Today, my wife asked...

There are so many similarities in our lives. I never cease being amazed at how our situations are so reflective. Most of the time when I respond to you, I find myself being convicted, encouraged and challenged by the words rebounding back to me. My wife has separated from me three times in...

nevergiveup, I pray you are able to follow through with your plan of moving back to be with your wife and daughter. As your title implies, I hope that you can continue on your life journey to nevergiveup. Grace is a wonderful thing. I pray that someday we both will be able to receive grace...

My wife and I are texting and talking again, this is amazing!

Intothelight, thank you so much for your insightful feedback. Your response further validates the message my counselor gives me weekly. He constantly encourages me to focus on the aspects of my life that need to be improved and changed. He never takes any "side" in attempting to help me...

I do understand. So much of what you write about your situation, sounds like I was writing. To answer your question about social media, my wife went in the other direction and has over 700 friends. The sad thing about her having so many contacts is that some of the contacts are men that she...

Never Give Up, it is my understanding that you moved to your parents home and that your wife is with your children in your home. Further, that your wife has filed divorce papers. My question, if your wife has been lashing out at you recently and if she does in fact have PTSD, then where and...

Thank you for your response.

Please understand that I am not insisting that PTSD is the correct diagnosis. I don't know the correct "box" that my wife's behavior fits in according to the DSVM book or whatever it is titled. My wife has been diagnosed with PTSD, bi-polar disorder, manic/depression, depression, anxiety...

Echo, thank you. I think you have helped me in my quest for answers. For example, please explain "untreated PTSD rage". What is untreated PTSD rage? How do you deal with it? How do you treat it? My wife has received EMDR therapy in the past, however, if EMDR therapy is not followed up and...

The reason the mother-in-law of our third son gently confronted my wife with PTSD about her treatment of our son, was that my wife and her were developing a very close relationship and she thought she could gently speak concerns to my wife. This is a very kind woman that when my wife...

Thanks to both of you. In reading around the site, I see individuals that have PTSD that process frustration, anger, rage in many different ways. Honestly, I am asking if Individuals with PTSD can ever embrace a total healing and how they can overcome PTSD. My wife is on medication, however...

We found out Wednesday evening that our youngest grandson, about one month old and in the hospital for meningitis, was going to have brain surgery. Upon hearing the news my wife began sobbing. I held her and prayed. Then yesterday morning, as she was continuing to sob, she asked me to ask her...

Stay encouraged brother and never give up. Don't ever allow your wife to ever know that you have any fear from her at all. Remember, perfect love casts out fear. Our enemy always tries to use fear to undermine our confidence in our Lord Jesus. I am writing this as much for myself as for you...
