In 2010, my girlfriend's ex broke into her home and shot both of us. Her once, me 4 times. I received a life flight to a trauma unit. Was alert the entire 1.5 hours following being shot and arriving at the hospital. Girlfriend was rushed to local hospital by ambulance and returned to work that week. I had a 10 night stay in the hospital and took off work for 2 months.
She and I continued our relationship, although it was a struggle at times she was there throughout my recovery and did so much for me. Our recent breakup has dealt a tough blow and I feel has brought out some of the PTSD symptoms once again.
Unfortunately, the week before Christmas she sent a text telling me that she wanted to stop communication totally, at least until I get through this and get better. It has been 2 months and this person who was so supportive has not even bothered to contact me. I'm struggling daily at this point.
