I Think I'm The Abuser Now

[mamachick]

You are deep in the cycle of abuse. Nobody that I have ever met can take abuse of any kind on a regular basis and not get a lot of help in dealing with the issues without turning into the perp. Just as a person who is neglected year after year will loose the ability to give the love that they once gave. Your tank is empty. Keep telling your therapist how significant this is in the relationship

I think we all have individual strengths and weaknesses, and what turns me into a weak pile of mush may affect you quite differently. We all have different ways for dealing with things, and different responses, so l restrain from making general statements of how trama, and ptsd will affect you or me.

You might want to seek out some therapy for yourself, if you haven't already. Sometimes it's hard to put things in perspective and sort them out without some competent help.
