Im I'm sorry you're going through this. She sounds alot like my husband without the physical abuse. He too has been diagnosed with PTSD but refuses treatment and displays other mental issues but without proper treatment he cannot get diagnosed. It has been 5 months since my husband abandoned me...

Emotional stress is so exhausting. After court I felt like I had run a marathon, which I cannot lol. I'm happy to hear you're doing ok and I would love to be your wing man. I can talk the pants of anyone lol. I think I get that from my dad. The television is a great distraction for me too as...

I am absolutely positive that you are an absolutely beautiful woman and didn't need that facial anyway?. It definitely is however something you will be able to laugh hysterically about. I am working on self confidence and you have helped me so much. You are so eloquent with your words and so...

I am learning also that mental illness period is no excuse for being a bad person. There are plenty here on this site that are sufferers and they say the same thing. People kept telling me to get angry for how mine treated me but I sounded like you...dont want to upset him, dont want to hurt...

That's what I was thinking too.

Didnt I read you have a key to her place? Go in when you know she is not there. Get ONLY your things and leave the key. Although I'm not the most sane person right now js

It's much better than 5 years later and married. Mine just up and left without a word. He has PTSD and I believe schizophrenia and maybe narcissistic. 5 years never saw it...thought he was the most wonderful caring generous person. I can't tell you to walk away...it's not easy and 2 months later...

I am so sorry you're going through this. Mine left June 15 without an argument or word just disappeared and filed for divorce in another state. I cried and felt anxiety. This site helped me realize there is nothing i can do for him as much as i love him. I am the enemy to him and had to realize...

No but can find out soon

When i went to see attorney the other day he was telling me the VA is now trying out a drug just for PTSD that is supposed to block the trauma. Hopefully it's successful.

@caligirl03 I am so sorry you had to go through that and I hope you are doing much better. I am currently in similar situation with exact same emotions. Its been month and a half and I'm physically and emotionally exhausted from my roller coaster of emotions. Please tell me it didnt long after...

The strides i make are because of you and others on this site. So thank you!!!

I see now why the tank always had to have plenty of gas, why he was so meticulous about his vehicle, why i couldn't pack away off season clothing, why he kept so much always packed in totes, why he would get upset if there wasn't a good amount in savings. I'm also beginning to believe the fact...

Thank you for your response Im beginning to understand. I had thought he only had these 3 episodes but as i read and look back its always there he just controls it better. I will get that book. Even though i may never see him again i want to understand it all for my own well being.

I have another question. So my husband also has physical disabilities, his back, shoulder and knees from being airborne, I have now noticed that prior to the episodes his disabilities become almost debilitating without doing something to make them worse. This time it was his back. I know he has...

Mine did call uhaul and served me with the papers...ugh. Im trying so hard to understand. I mean for me i get mad at him and even have had thoughts about leaving and what to leave him and what i would take and thats usually when he's just sitting in front of a video game for days while i do...

How do you fight those urges to serve the divorce papers and call Uhaul?

I do accept and thank you.

I wish I could tell you or even myself how to move on. My husband left June 15 without a fight without a word. I left one day for a couple hours and came back to him gone and havent heard a word from him. All the conflicting emotions are overwhelming but I'm taking it one day at a time and start...

My whole story is on thread "my husband has ptsd and missing". My mom who wasn't believing the ptsd thing when he left has since talked to a friend who's husband has it. Now she has hopes of us getting back together. Keeps saying i have never seen you so happy as you are with him. So my reply is...

I think I'm smart enough to know he didnt get help for his first wife or kids so im pretty sure its not happening for me.

With a heavy sigh...my husband is 50 and hasnt taken his meds or done therapy. He once tried to give back his disability to the VA so they would remove the PTSD. The letter he got in response was that they cannot change it since a medical doctor diagnosed him with it.

Thank you for your response. Im really trying to make an informed decision whether this is something that is manageable and if i can truly be with him.

To the brave sufferers...do take medication and or in therapy? Do either of those help with symptoms?

No, not the answer i want but none of this is what i wanted. I'm just trying to understand so i can make an informed decision. I love him with all my heart but after the pain of this month i just dont know what to do anymore. I feel so lost and overwhelmed, hurt and angry. I honestly have no...
