General Just Venting... I'll Love Him Again Later!

[MyRangers'Girl]

I have to get all this out before I scream! The written diary just wasn't going to cut it this time, I wanted a place where there was a chance someone would read this...

#1 - I love him and would never want to lose him
but...

#2 - I am ready to rip his hair out sometimes!!! I just need to vent.

He's making me insane. He's up and then he's down. He's super positive then mildly but consistently negative. His transgressions get swept under the rug... mine appear in blinking lights on our relationship marque! I can't stand it sometimes. It's like the little things everyone in life has to deal with he just can't do sometimes, or they get super-blown out of proportion. I have read wonderful articles, several books and forums I totally get the whole nature of PTSD and that I'm being a raging wench right now. The Ranger and I have raw emotional (brief, but honest) discussions about PTSD and I never make him feel anything less than 100% accepted, But for 30 seconds I need to put ME 1st again... just for 30 freaking seconds!!!

okay, i feel better... :) thanks for reading!

How about an introduction so we can all say hello. If you have any questions ask in the forum.

Hey Rangers Girl, your vent sounds familiar and it's good you recognise the importance of making time for yurself. If you lose sight of yourself, it can easily have a negative affect on your partner. I needed & made time for myself today.
We all help one another here when we can. Welcome to the forum.

Totally understand what you are going through Ranger girl, yesterday my hubby was so angry that he told me to stop treating him like a child and that all I do is tell him to go talk to somebody about his anger and PTSD and then he punched a hole in the wall...I just walked away in stunned silence and realized I just have to take care of me and our girls and realize it was just his PTSD and not to take it personal.

You are doing a great job and keep it up. We love our men and know that they will get better, it is just the road we are traveling now that is so hard!
