Relationship A Poem To My Wife With Ptsd

[shell]

It was beautiful, my husband conveyed something along those lines the other day, as I pushed him away.

Sometimes it's hard to allow others to be there for us.

I bet she does, bearfan! :)

I think it describes ptsd perfectly (my experience), how one 'feels', too.

But then it also occurred to me, so many of the 'likes' come from 'supporters' (also) that said 'yes', not sure if it's how they feel, as well.
-Wow.

Wow! Totally in tears...you touched me!

Thank you for writing this poem, I need to absorb it for myself, to understand what is possible....

At least 75% of my brain over-rides the tearful emotion my heart responded with. It's message is that nagging belief ... that nobody really means all that. My heart aches with the desire to believe there indeed are "normal" any people who not only understand, who not only commit to being there for you, but who will also actually see it through when you need them.

Bearfan I'm not doubting your sincerity. Just sharing, I guess, my trust issues are are a lot deeper than I realized. Hmmm, Please, somebody tell me that you also had a knee-jerk reaction of "too good to be true" feeling.

Bearfan it really is a beautiful poem. H*** if I had the energy I'ld probabably be jealous of your wife's support by you. My soon (as in about 12 hrs) to be old T thinks I feel I don't deserve love. It has never quite rang(rung?) true for me. I think I really don't believe people will keep their word. I wonder what my new trauma T's take will be, I see her tomorrow.

Well, you're not alone in that, I don't expect to be 'loved', in this lifetime, anyway! It goes well beyond trust.
But I'm glad for those who can achieve it, or receive it, or will have it.

I don't expect to be 'loved', in this lifetime, anyway!

Hey, stranger things have happened. Look at the odds of all of us connecting for support. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

Thank you so much for posting this. I want to give this to my fiancé so he can know there are other supporters who have the same feelings and experiences. I feel so badly about putting him through so much.

Really beautiful. I wish I'd had someone who felt that way.

This is probably one of the most beautiful affirmations of love. Thank you for sharing.
