Other Betrayal - Cause Of Trauma?

I’ve recently been diagnosed with PTSD. My psych said that it’s possible that my wife’s cheating /...

Of course that is trauma, a partner should never do that, and it certainly can cause illness when that happens. It took me a long time to learn that my ex did all that on purpose, huge betrayal. Sorry for your pain.

that false memory syndrome rubbish

I dont know about a syndrome, but I had a false memory. The act happened, whom did it was wrong. But a false memory nonetheless as im accusing my dad of doing this abusive act that he never did.

It was, a bit, caused by, or supported by, my mom and what she told me (lied) about my dad.

The memory worked itself out by the way, mostly, flashbacks but this was years after I accused, and believed, my dad did this.

There was a family on Dr. Phil (yes I watch him too much) where the young woman was abused by mom's boyfriend at 7, was sent to live with dad, later as an adult daughter has distinct memories of dad sexually abusing her and dad said that never happened, that it was mom's boyfriend and mom lying about him.

And evidence was clear he never did these acts. That it was mom's boyfriend or fully false memories due to mom lying about dad.

Dr Phil told her "I believe that you believe this happened". Thats how false memories are. You truely believe this thing happened. Again, not sure about an entire syndrome but not "rubbish".

not quite false memory then, more like mixed, up because 1 you had the memory by your mother, which is a well known occurance, that false memories can be induced by others & other Dr Phil one abuse was commited but she thought it was someone else, which most of us blank out part of the events. The abuse was present and Dr Phil I find now I know a bit more, very much about entertainment. Some of those families, like that one with the daughter Alex was really unconciosable. Playing out peoples mental illness in that forum is unethical if you ask me. I don't like the way he flaunts his wealth seems another way of inducing problems as well. I used to like him, now I wonder, but maybe that is me being very untrustting after realising how many are out to make a buck
