Hi All,
I am new to these forums, so I should give you a little background information first. My boyfriend was diagnosed with PTSD recently after a tragic vehicular accident almost a month ago. I was devastated both by what happened in the accident, and I am devastated over what is going on with him now. I am the only person besides a doctor or two whom he has told about the accident. I told him I was there for him, even after he said I would be better of without him.
I snapped today. He has become cold and distant, and treats me disrespectfully. Not to mention, our sex life is non-existent. I feel more alone with him, than I do when I am alone. I broke down this morning crying after his drunken stupor Christmas eve. He was terrible to me that night, and this is not the first time. Drunk, he let my dog out of the house twice and I was terrified she would not come back in the house. Thank god she was bribed with treats. I went home on Christmas eve, and woke up alone Christmas day. Despite his behaviour, I was the one who called him like crazy to make sure he was okay. I went to his house, only to find that he was sleeping and ignoring my texts and calls. He was nonchalant about it and asked me why I was there. After an apology or two from him, he wanted to forget about it and move on. A day later, today, I woke up crying. I can't do this. I feel guilty because I promised I would be there, but he is not there for me, at all. I told him I had to go home to recharge my batteries. I was bawling when he dropped me off. He told me that between the accident and me, he was going to kill himself at this rate. He said that I should steer clear of him, go and talk to someone and get on with my life. I feel so alone.
