Buprenorphine Opioids For Triad Of Pain, Ptsd, Suds

As of the end of February, a new bup medication has BEEN FDA APPROVED for pain management (in case anyone wants to look it up). Its BELBUCA. This is the ONLY bup based medication with has been FDA approved for pain management. Medicare wont pay for it, while private plans will (so much for...

food fight. No one got hurt. We are of course getting only one side of the story, and we all know there is three (his, hers and the full truth). Couples therapy is a must. As for The $1.25 difference in burger price, I think it safe to say that there is WAY more going on than the expenditure...

Now he is sending snide comments in response to emails between MIL and I, as apparently, she can't have her own email/or perhaps doesn't seek to have her own email. Not sure why the MIL doesn't have her own email, and I am sure she knew nothing about his response to me about something she and I...

I am very happy it went well. Good to have that disclosure behind you, huh?

Deep breath, and think of it as a necessary part of the process to enlist the help of those who truly should be there to support you. GO YOU!

Don't make it negative thing when you talk to her, but be positive in that you wanted to share with her your struggle, and briefly outline the steps you are taking presently. More importantly, follow up and outline the steps you need from her to support you through this transition. Here is...

No offense to any Catholics in here (used to be one myself), but why do you think that she would say something presumptively negative about it? She WILL have you pray on it, but depending on how progressive your superior is, she may not encourage or support modern medicine (therapy) to assist...

Yup, I am amazed the ceiling handle is still attached to the ceiling for all my grabbing of it.

Thought I was the only one dealing with this when spouse drives. Hubs and son constantly tease me about it (sometimes I am able to laugh along, other times it truly pisses me off because I can't help it). I am FINE when its me driving, but the anxiety goes through the roof when its hubs. He too...

Yes, similarly he does not want to hear anything "negative", so we don't talk much/try to keep it to talk centered around their grandchild's exploits (school, etc.). Sadly NOTHING is positive for us right now (losing house, cars are over 200K miles on them, spouse is still unemployed, fighting...

Yes, otherwise good person in that he has done a lot financially for others, but its more of a power trip for him to do so IMHO. Though, the benefit for those who have been helped cannot be ignored and is appreciated.

Yes Friday... that triggers a remembrance of a comment to me saying "millions have had these things happen to them, he needs to move on from it" like comment in the recent past. While I am left to pick up the pieces and not tell him to shove it. Don't you think I would like him to be able to...

I am very sorry for your experience Mallaky. Crotchety is the word for it I think. LOL Alcoholism walks hand in hand with an underlying issue. Something is eating at him to drink and in turn be the obnoxious arse that he can be when so doing. He did let on, in a sober hour, that he was...

One family member once said to me, "have you ever thought about pursuing "X" as a career, you were so good at it"(something I used to do recreationally before becoming a mom, and well before my spouse's problems were known)... and he jumped in before I could open my mouth and said, "she isn't...

Could be something altogether different that he is dealing with, but seems to have amplified with finding out about the PTSD/our family's struggles dealing with same.

It is only my guess that it centers around him processing the traumas and perhaps resenting me for shouldering same/protecting his child v. him, but not sure why I am the target, nor how to deal with him any longer without being rude or not talking to him at all.

Granted, we don't see him often, but if more than a few hours and a few drinks, he is impossible to talk to. Seriously, you could be talking crochet stitches, the weather, anything, and he will be disagreeable which escalates to rude in a hot 2 minutes

Sure...doesn't matter the subject, FIL will cross the room, infuse himself into the discussion and sometimes, quite literally, tell me "you don't know what you are talking about". It is embarrassing, and there is NO way to win any conversation with him. Alcohol is ALWAYS involved (him, not...

Have any of you dealt with disrespectful in-laws who, in my HO, are taking out their guilt, angst, regret, anger, confusion, hurt, etc. on you, the caregiving spouse, for missing the signs of their child's, now adult, traumas? I don't know how else to explain my in-law's constant picking...

That is ridiculous! Had a "therapist" on another social website literally stalk me into every thread I was in for days because I spoke on a topic and he did not like my position. Note: I was not his patient, nor was I directly addressing him. Got so bad that I turned him into the website...

EXCELLENT analogy! We wouldn't want too break or rip hair out from the root and cause unnecessary pain would we?

Therapy is having the benefit of a trained eye and ear to help you set a realistic pace and assign the proper weight/attention to various elements of your personal journey. Ultimately its about self empowerment through education and building of skill sets... developing an intimate and truthful...

At age 28, starting from scratch is not at all uncommon in those without PTSD, so why should it be a second thought for those with? You mention a law degree. HELLO>>> that took both smarts and determination... give yourself some credit where credit is due! In today's marketplace MANY never...
