Anytime a person I've known who has PTSD has isolated I just pick up where we left off. I tell them something funny or light hearted so they know I'm not upset. So they won't feel guilty. I guess that's why they always have come back. Because I'm a safe haven. Some people I have known have...

Here's an update. I never went to his CO. I forgave him. I'm unsure of why he did those behaviors. I'm not even sure if my mom is making it out to be much more because of her own childhood sexual trauma. She keeps trying to compare him to a rapist or a child molester which I find to be extreme...

He said he wanted attention.

There's a lot more problems I haven't said here.

It's helping so far. I made a deal with him I won't go to his commanding officer if he gets help. He is motivated to get help for once. I had to do something. He has also impulsevly spoke about sex in front of a child. He has called my friend before and did the same thing he did to my mom. He is...

His sex drive is completely abnormal. He crosses boundaries. Tonight he impulsively said sexual unduendos to my mom. I showed him the pictures I have of his company and battalion info. I told him if he gets help on his own and prove it then I won't go to his commanding officer. There's more here...

As supporters we need boundaries. My sufferer seems to just get worse. He will go days without talking to me but when he does it's just about sex. He claims he's always horny cuz of PTSD. Last night a girl went to his place, got him off then left. Then he called me to listen to my voice while he...

Sounds like rape to me.

Thank you for serving :)

Finally heard his voice for the first time since late May. He hasn't spoke to his family a lot either. It makes me sad he seems stuck in a stagnant place of no growth since I met him. He's the same since I met him three years ago. I'm growing and recovering in my mental illness and addiction...

Good for you. That was so nice of you to take care of him. Now it's time to take care of you. You did the right thing.

Thank u!

What is a good sign is he posted a love song about the distance between us. Which means he's almost done isolating. Yay! He didn't post anything for a couple weeks. Thank you all for the support!

Welcome to the forums!! You sound like a wonderful supporter. I suggest backing off from her and give her space while you do things for yourself. Let her sort out her feelings. I know this is hard but you sound very strong! She's lucky to have you even if she doesn't express it.

Thanks for the responses

I'm just curious as to what moment brings my vet to come back to me after isolating. Perhaps once the anxiety has subsided? Does he feel less numb?

I'm sorry this is hard for you. But he's married. Give another woman the respect you would want.

I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I hit rock bottom from drugs. I've met many people in recovery who have been missed diagnosed with bipolar within the first year of recovery as well. So I'd like a second opinion. Just in case I Have a mental illness I take meds and take good care of my...

I got over being hurt in the last couple of days. Once I move through the hurt emotions I find compassion for him. I sent him a text letting him know I love him and always will. That I thought about blocking him then I remembered all he's been through. N that I understand. He has told me...

As supporters we need to take care of ourselves! What did you do to ensure your own happiness today?

We don't know the future. Anything can happen.

I'm sorry girl. That was sweet of you to send him wishes. I'm sure he appreciates it. Though he doesn't express it.

You will most definately figure it out. Your very welcome, we're all here for you. Just trust yourself. Do what's best for you and take good care of YOU because you are your best advocate. Nobody can take care of you like you can. Going to the hospital is a good thing! So don't be scared. You...

It's selfish of him to not want you to go to the hospital. That's not supportive!!!! He will get over it. It's worth a try. Your job will understand I'm sure. They have too.
