    General Happy Ending - Does It Exist?

    You know I think I must be missing a "wife" gene or something....I work with all these fun, successful people - I know no one is perfect - but lord I don't think they live in a crazy unpredictable environment. Work is definitely filling a lot of need for me now. I do PR for our company - so...

    General Happy Ending - Does It Exist?

    I really need to hear about some happy endings here. I hear about how it is hell to live with this disorder. I see how you - as a spouse - have to work damn hard to keep your own footing - when living with a PTSD spouse. I just need to know that there is light at the end of this tunnel? What...

    General All Of a Sudden - Things Are Great!

    You know - it is a Godsend to have found this site. So many of the things that I steam about privately - are being spelled out by others here. My house has so many things that need to be done - and I don't even realize until my dad comes to town to visit and starts replacing light bulbs, fixes a...

    General Memory Loss! Does It Get Better As Progress is Made?

    you know whats hard for me? When my husband forgets....I seem to also pay the consequences. I have been advised here (and I know it's true) that if it is wearing me out & pissing me off, I should stop trying to prevent stressors or remind him of everything. But here's what happens if he...

    General Dealing with Hallucinations

    I wonder: Is she being seen currently by a physician? Someone you could call and bounce this off of? Because my husband actually was in a psychotic state - and had to be hospitalized as he had lost touch with reality. He was released days later - but that was really scary. I didn't realize how...

    General PTSD and Chronic Pain

    My husband was a paratrooper and had a terrible accident where his chute partially opened. He was lucky to survive it - let alone walk again. However, his lower back was pretty wrecked - and he began jumping again right away (apparantly - this is procedure to not allow them to get too scared to...

    General All Of a Sudden - Things Are Great!

    After going through a very difficult few weeks, (It's what drove me here) My husband is a "new man". Last night he was all happy and then trying to be romantic. I was thinking "Oh, HELL NO" I was just trying to fall asleep and be left alone. He was cuddling and acting like nothing has...

    General Do Any of The Spouses Have Someone Impartial They Can Offload To?

    I know how you feel I have been ranting and raving on this site - because it was the only place I could. I really let it all out here - my fingers were smoking up the keyboard...Then I started to talk to my girlfriends about what I was writing on this site - and then I felt this incredible...

    General Accountability? PTSD Equals No Responsibility?

    Thank you Veiled and Anthony and even meanie head (as my daughter would say) as I was angry, then sad, now relieved - after posting here - all in 48 hours! I have been so caught up in trying to get through each day and all that it holds....that I forgot to feel anything (Yes, I know - I just...

    General Accountability? PTSD Equals No Responsibility?

    Ouch. Well, I tell you today was hard. Very painful. I really had to check in with myself - I regret opening myself up here by disclosing my past. My therapist would remind me that abuse survivors have very warped boundaries and invite abuse. So in that sense I suppose I am not healed at all...

    General Accountability? PTSD Equals No Responsibility?

    do I think it is a guise? I think it is a convenient catch all phrase to avoid absolutely anything. "I forgot" how can you argue with that? We went to a counselor who suggested keeping lists - as I have said here elsewhere they do no good - because "I forgot" to look at it. I forgot where I put...

    General Accountability? PTSD Equals No Responsibility?

    I'm sure a big reason I feel so angry and out of patience is that I was adopted at birth and then severly abused as a child, which led to a teenage drug addiction. I overcame it. I bought a home, have a successful career many friends that I love. It was bloody hard, and I cried for years in...

    General Accountability? PTSD Equals No Responsibility?

    My brother said to me, "So your husband has a disorder that relieves him of any responsibilty, accountibility, stress, financial obligation, spousal obligation, or any other difficult or unpleasant thing? All under the guise of "I forgot?" And hows that workin for ya?" And you know - he's got...

    General He Is So Angry With Me! When Not To Apply Pressure

    Oh Hannah - I feel your pain, girl! The thing is - I got angry when I read your post because my husband "pulls" the same crap. It doesn't seem fair to me that this disorder alleviates a person of all accountibility, responsibility, and stress. We are just supposed to watch what we ask, how we...

    General I'm So Over It - Husband an Iraq Veteran

    I am new here, and found this site a little too late - i'm afraid. (But I am still writing anyway) I have been married to my school sweetheart for two years now. We hadn't seen each other for 20 years, were each divorced and he found me close to our hometown. He was the love of my life back...

    General Memory Loss! Does It Get Better As Progress is Made?

    Memory Loss Man, sounds like we're married to the same guy. My husband has NO memory. He has called me lost many times on everyday routes to our bank, etc. We have a business too - that just wasn't working - so I took a job to ease financial pressure and hopefully marital strife. But I still...
