I have a question or comment.
Will under age children be excluded from this? Or should they be?I guess I mean. I personally have had experience with a girl who was only 10 (when I knew her) who had been abused as a very young child. She grew up with her father and never felt comfortable...
lol It has been a long standing point of interest that the amount of men was way less them women on here. We all agree that more men would be better on here!
There is good and bad with divorce. If you feel you need to step back from the relationship than that is what you should do. However from my experience the PTSD sufferer in my case understandably was emotionally hurt and very upset even though the separation had been something she had wanted...
I understand your frustration and almost a feeling of helplesness. I fear you will see things get worse before they get better. It sounds a lot like the situation I walked into. It's been 2 years now in my case and the divorce is finale now.. and things are so much better it is an unreal...
Hello Tbam,
My situation is something a little bit similar to yours. In my case I can honestly say the PTSD mother who had costody of the children really made the effort to get the help she needed after the seperation. She DID want to be the mother the children needed and she also had help...
Ohh I'm sorry for the miss understanding.. I was writing more about what Robyn was feeling not what the sufferer was feeling kind of. As in how after awhile you can forget to step back and look at things and reassess the situation and that sort of stuff. It is very hard to live your life being...
Hello Robyn, Sorry to hear your having trouble. I thought I would add a bit of insight for you!
As for the computer game.. I don't know about warcraft but I have and do off and on play online games. I do know it can be very addictive and I have used it as a "get away" from stress and...
Hello, I don't have PTSD but this caught my eye.
I have never had a fear of heights but when I am up high looking down from a really big drop I get incredible urges to jump. It terrifies me and it takes all my will power to hold myself back. No clue where it comes from or if its some...
If I may add my 2 cents...
I hadn't read the thread being discussed here until I happened to read this one. Wondering what would get someone so upset made me go read the thread in question. I noticed a few things.
First.. In the beginning Anthony seemed to push her to open up in public and...
Hi Tammy! So glad to hear you got a new place and are all moved in and happy with it! I don't know anything about the legal issues though.. but as in any legal case.. stick to what you know is right and fight it out! Hope things change for you soon.
Very well wrote Samsara.
Every ones situation is different but yet I do believe the emotions we feel are near the same in any situation.. the fear for the sufferers life, the fear of not knowing, the pain from wondering why it's happening to begin with. Everything, including the love that...
But that brings back the point if one is willing to commit but doesn't know if the other is committed to them or not. It goes back to the communication thing again I believe.. the one who is unsure of the situation and is getting hurt.. its most likely because they are unsure because there was...
I would think that it doesn't matter if you are in a relationship with a sufferer.. but that as long as you care for the sufferer and wish to be more someone who can help then doing harm by understanding what they are dealing with and going through then you are a carer. I think most come here...
Ohh very good point dlross! I think that was something I was trying to put across also! I don't think it matter exactly what it is that is going on what matters is if the sufferer or carer KNOWS something is going on that is causing issues yet they do NOTHING.
communication is the key to...
Use of drugs and other "self help" things such as out right denial that the sufferer has done or is doing anything wrong in any way.. in a household where there are 3 young children living with the sufferer at home every day.
For clarification.. when the sufferer knows they have PTSD yet...
Hi Cowgirl, There is a private section for carers. In your user CP area you can apply to join the group. Then one of the administraters will ok it and then you can get in.
I believe each person makes their own family regardless if it is relatives, pets, friends or who ever they choose. A family is the people you care about regardless of blood relations. And the center of that family is you individually and radiates out from that. I grew up with my friends as my...
I am extreamly rational over emotional. Regardless if its about me or someone else I think about all the ways any action affects any person involved before I do anything. I also do this when I need to tell someone something important.
I do this not out of fear of hurting someone or myself...
Happy Easter!
I'm not really religious but do go to church to keep my parents happy! I do try and make every holliday a special even and very fun for the kids though... I believe there are to few special times in life and making good memories for the children to grow up with is important.
Hello Sunnydaze, I don't have PTSD but I would have been upset also. The way I feel about things like this is... "IF" something ever happened to that child how would I feel if I had done nothing yet had known about it.
Have you let him know you found this forum? To me it alwase seems the best first step is to find out your not alone and that so many others go through the same things you do. To talk to someone who also has PTSD and shares the same frustrations and anger and fears as you do. I would let him...
