Ah ok. Get it sorry!
Still trying calm down i suppose from last night fiasco.
I understand the different stages to a degree... just times it bloody hard going and I think I was letting off steam!
No Facebook posting hahahhahaah
Although managed sleep till now!
Which is good for me anyway.
Felt good rant!
We don't recognise how hard it is for us at times
As I I'm I'm in bed again with my little boy due to a once again being confronted with I love you and the name of her abusive ex rather than mine. I would agree and clearly say supporting someone with this is at times sh@t.
People can say you can't help what u say in ur sleep but fcuk me this...
Just add we have had an amazing family weekend swimming & police celebration day!
These are the points we all need focus on when the going gets tough again
It's bloody hard! Heart breaking at times but good support, this forum all helps
Onwards and upwards!!
So far so good!
We had a chat, I explained the way it makes me feel.
She explained how it makes her feel as well.
She has discussed this with her T.
We not using headphones and I simply get on the sofa if I need to but we have both agreed we always start the morning with a hug and a kiss...
Example - last night amazing - we had a water fight with her little boy, had a bath together, made and ate tea, watched rubbish tv
Cuddled and held each other's as we fell asleep
Then during the night same old stuff!!!!!!!
But u live and learn to manage it,I don't do this very well all the...
Hi, u are not alone.
It's a very complicated, frustrating and sometimes downright crap thing to have to deal with.
But the fact is the time u get when PTSD is not the biggest thing in the world it's brilliant, when it's ptsd and that's all there is it's bloody hard going and that's a fact!
Hi all
After the advice from my previous post which was amazing and so helpful - I've now read hundreds of articles on body memory and trauma.
one thing that I have noticed recently is that a lot of my g/f attention is on her ex - posting captions/phrases on social media (fb) that are obviously...
Lady moonlight and all others it's great that u have taken time to read my forum let alone reply.
It's great that u have shared experience and knowledge that I know must be painful for u all.
Thanks again for all of this.. given me a massive boost from strength and a real insight xxx
Read loads about Intrusive thoughts over ththe last 24 hours..
some good reading on there about this and trauma and sex.
Suppose the truth of the matter is I'll never truthfully no, gotta believe what she says And go with it
That's the plan.
This weekend to have a talk about it again.
I hate hearing the sleep talk but I do know she don't mean what she says
It was the saying of the name during oral sex that bothers me more than anything. I do think that part can Be controlled.
See if makes me think that she was...
11 months the abuse has stemmed from when she was first with him. So nearly 13 years ago.
It covers all aspects of control and abuse..
I also at times massively think that and then over think everything - hence the forum post.
I have and do have first hand experience of PTSD before this.. but...
Thanks!!!!
The ear buds for the sleep aspect will be good and I'm going try them tonight.
As for the other well let's see what happens - will plan a conversation over the next few days and see what is said.
As I said I'm expected almost to get on with it but I'll have the conversation and...
Seriously?
We completed a time line of abuse facts that she needed for court and then I feel really guilty for doubting her, but then at the same time I don't want listen to when she says his name.
Are there any tips or strategies that anyone has ever used in the same/similar situation- I like...
The issue is around the fact that she is saying her ex name and then I love u
Love it when you f@@k me like that.
Love you to the moon a back
And that what's waking me up. I'm then uncertain if she means it or it's somat else?
Thank you for the replies firstly.
I'm in the proceess of seeking support for myself to be honest.
It's the stuff around does she mean what she says in her sleep and actually I'm just a safer alternative
How was she thinking of her ex when she screamed his name?
What kind of therapy do I...
I'm sorry your managing this as well. From reading the advice and comments above it's hard to give you better advice.
My take on this is the same - u Can't and never will change what people with PTSD do - it's heart breaking but that's a fact - u also need to look after yourself first and...
After some advice/information or even plain guidance.
I'm not naive to the impact of PTSD. I've seen first hand what this can do to people and it can effect every aspect of everyday life.
I'm in a new relationship - it's been 10 months now and my G/f. She has experienced some traumatic...
Hi all my wife is suffering from ptsd post birth caused by the birth. The birth was traumatic for her and all involved happily though we have a healthy 15 week old little man who is the absolute love of my and my wife's life.
My wife has always suffered from emotional health issues from wen we...
