Hello, I'm writing this message because I've been looking for support about PTSD. I currently and have been for over 4 years diagnosed with PTSD. I am married and have alot of difficulties with my husband. My PTSD gets triggered when we argue quit often..old memories ect.. I feel that he does not fully understand what I go through even despite the talks I've had with him regarding my PTSD. He has said he thinks I should be over it by know, and is one of those people that doesn't really get it. We have gone to a councilor and I have gone separately. This is difficult because I'm trying to do work on myself and at home everything falling apart between us. I began to feel confused maybe second guessing myself because he says this is mostly my fault why we fight, yet there is obvious things that happen while we try to communicate about a problem that he does like swear, call names, and not vindicate what I'm trying to say. He'll say things like you don't know what your talking about..ect So, this causes a big problem for me, because he knows what I've been through and the struggles I have yet he does this and then blames me for it. Even though he does say he's "sorry". So, lately I have decided to not talk to him alone anymore and only in counseling, he says he will come but believes we should do it by ourselves still.
Our communication has been nonexistent and other parts of our marriage for about 3 months. I fear that our marriage is in danger. Let alone I just got a new job and this is extremely hard for me because of everything. I feel like it will be a challenge to maintain our marriage, PTSD, my counseling and this job. When I began talking about things that happen it makes it so much worse for me. Also, because I haven't felt the connection with him I've been going online and chatting with other people. Sometimes this creates other problems but its a way for me to cope. Any advice I'm open to it. Thanks
