Supporter I'm The Discarded Result Of My Partners Ptsd

[hopeforhealing]

I am so very sorry. I was reading some statistics on PTSD and soldiers last night. It helped me to know I am not alone in this. You are not alone either.

Hello D, welcome to the forum

I really hope you find some help here

Hope you dont mind that I called you D. Discarded is such a sad word, you must feel so helpless to his behaviour, of which he can not control or understand.

best wishes
Saffy

Thanks for all the welcome messages and support. I am feeling much better since joining the forum. I don't feel so alone anymore and I am finally starting to understand what my husband is going through. I might have known the basics of PTSD before but I really had no idea. Seems wrong to call him my husband when he doesn't want me in his life anymore. Anyway, thanks heaps, for the first time in 7 years I really have some understanding supporters.

D, I want to welcome you to the forum, and say that I am very sorry for what you and your daughter are going through right now.

I am a sufferer, and not a supporter, so I cannot claim to know how you feel. I can tell you, that my husband suffers from a sometimes very debilitating chronic illness, and at times, for my sake and for the sake of my children, I have learned to put some emotional distance between us so I can go on with life. It may sound callussed, but often, he needs to decide he needs help before he can receive it.

I would encourage you, for your sake, and for the sake of your child, to lay his issues aside for awhile and just work on your own lives and your own relationship. You may find he gets the help he needs, or perhaps not. Either way, you will be better off for it.
