Family Still Here- Just!

[stilltrying]

Hi all.

Some of you may have read about my recent rage outburst. Well to the great efforts of my wife she convinced my daughter to come over and talk to me.

We didn't talk alot but she left our grandson in our care that night to babysit and after what happened, I didn't think I would see her again or our grandson for along time.

Things are still tense but are moving forward.

Wendy my wife has started to look at the forum since I joined and seems to have found a new commitment to help me get better.

She has been reading the carers stuff and printed some out. We talked about it today and I will Implement it.

Thanks to the person who suggested tai che? We have ordered the DVD you recommended.

When I lost the plot the other night I did so in front of my daughters friends, ( all over for a BBQ) I was concerned that it would damage her relationship with them (not to mention me). My daughter spoke to them and they said they would be willing to come over again another time.

I couldn't believe it, I mean why would they want to?? Wendy, (my wife) told me that it's because I'm not normally like that and they know me to be a different person.

Wow, I guess I am slowly getting better, still a long way to go though

Thanks to all

Glad things are looking a bit better for you.:thumbs-up

Glad your wife has come to the forum to learn more and is supportive. It's great that your daughter and her friends will still come to visit. Then, it won't be so lonely and/or feel as if the PTSD is separating you from everyone.

Blessings on your journey. We're here for you.
