Relationship Mixed Signals

[Milo's papa]

@hangingon, man do I know how that works, plans made this AM, canceled this afternoon type thing happens all he time around here. Flashbacks and triggers can destroy your social life.

But after awhile you learn to adjust, keep everything tentative in your own mind, ( out to dinner? maybe, but probably not) and just plan on being there when you can. I think we all go through this with our sufferers, ( GOD I HATE THAT TITLE) (SURVIVORS is so much better) and if we want to stay with them we just learn how to adapt to it. I haven't found it to be that hard but that's just me. I'm really flexible, (I've been through my own trauma and survived), and to be honest, since I completed my trauma therapy, I've become a bit of an introvert, so it doesn't bother me not to be around people. I don't have to feel like they can see how dirty I still feel.

Hang in there, it gets worse before it gets better, but it does get better. I promise, I've been there personally, and now I'm back there with my wife.
feel free to give me a shout out if you ever need a lift. I know how hard this is.

Thank you for helping me not feel so alone. I guess I know its not about me but its hard to not let it feel like it sometimes. I have been trying to stay positive for both of us, end up feeling like I'm out running a dark cloud and if I stop it will consume me.
