ok so i have a bit of an update. as i mentioned, i sent her a letter to because i wanted her to know how much i respect her and that as some time has passed i deeply regret telling her not to contact me and the thought that she has wanted to but hasn't because of what i said. she called me after...

Thanks @EveHarrington, i didn't read any of it as you trying to break my heart and i really appreciate the perspective you offer. if you dont mind me asking, when you say CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY INTENSE relationship, what kind of things in the relationship are you referring to? this makes sense. not...

Perhaps but I don’t think she drinks enough for that to be the case. She’s not getting drunk every night or even drinking every day. I don’t really drink at all so I may be more sensitive to it but I felt like overall her relationship with alcohol wasn’t great

Thank you again @Tinyflame. It certainly sounds like you’re doing an amazing job at self healing in terms of working towards understanding and caring for yourself. You should be proud of yourself for that. I’m far from an expert but it seems obvious that that is a huge step in itself...

Thanks @LovingH, i've actually read a number of your posts on here and while our stories differ in many ways, there's very clear similarities too. I feel for you and I wish you the best in your journey. In the short time i've been reading this forum I've found it amazing to see the...

thank you both for your replies, i appreciate your time and thoughts. i actually said this to her when we last spoke. its a difficult topic to broach with her because she has a very strong appearance with it, she hates the idea of being a "victim" or even with there being something wrong...

Hi everyone, I’m just learning about cptsd after looking for an explanation as to why my relationship came to an abrupt halt. Reading posts on here and others on reddit, it seems my situation isn’t so unusual. One thing that seems a bit different is that my ex is undiagnosed and I don’t think...
