My relationship with my husband has taken a real battering since all the memories came back, but the one benefit I can see that after having done alot of work on myself I will be self aware than perhaps someone who doesn't have PTSD and hasn't done years of therapy. As my symptoms have become more managable my relationship has improved and it is now better than it has been in years. But like any relationship they all have their ups and downs, and you have to be stable enough to get through the downs.
While I am afraid to socialize, I was concerned this had rubbed off on my son, but he is exactly the opposite. He is a social butterfly and assertive, and popular with many friends. I was determined to not be the as same my parents, and have always had a very close and loving relationship with my son. As he has become a teenager it has certainly pushed me to levels of high stress, I can see how important it is to have control of my anger, and my symptoms so that I am not pushed into becoming abusive and not respecting others.
I guess the question is, do you respect others boundaries and rights in times of stress.
