Supporter Hi, New To This, Need A Place To Talk And Listen.

[Doglover24]

Hi, I am new to forums but this one is a good one to start. My husband is a Police officer who was shot by a fellow officer (terrible accident) almost two years ago. He has PTSD from the accident and it has become more of a struggle for me lately. I have learned about it, figured out what sets him off ( he loses his temper a lot easier and gets very anger and violent, wants to punch things and such), learned how to not make him madder,but lately it seems everything gets to him. I feel as if I am blamed for every reason he is angry, like I cannot do anything right. Not sure what to do and how to help. The only person I have Kinda talked to is my mom and now he is mad about that and thinks she thinks he is a terrible person and doesn't even want her to visit (she lives 5 hours away). I don't know what to do and how to help him, he doesn't talk to me. Sorry for the rambling but it feels nice and hope this site helps with things. Thanks ya'll, it nices knowing I am not the only one going through this.

Hello, hello! Yes, this is a good forum to belong too. I hope you find support here, to do what is best for you.

I am like you; i do not well with people with tempers. And I have needed to make adjustments in my relationships in order to feel safe.

Good luck!

Yes, he goes to therapy every three weeks, which should probably be more. He also had medication he can take if he needs it. Not sure how to tell him he should more often without him taking offense..
