Relationship My Last Ditch Effort

[celia]

Hi,
I have a 4 year old, I have to say, I feel much better about myself as a mother that I'm out of the relationship because I know there would be long term effects on my son. Although, it was heartbreaking to let go, I do now see GODS point loud and clear. Its not about me and what I want...its about a child that I need to focus on and nurture. I was nurturing someone that didn't want to be nurtured. Thank you God for showing me your will not mine.

Talk about a sledgehammer. Im awake.

Humbly.

Your children are entirely dependent on you to take action if necessary. I don't know what to say, but maybe there is a solution in the middle. Perhaps you need time apart. I agree with ITL, he must be the one to work on his issues, you can only choose how to respond. Every day gives you new choices. I hope you can ask your heart of hearts, and make whatever decision(s) you need with and in peace.

There are videos on the Canadian Forces Military website (Canadian), that show role plays on how to respond (they compare potential responses dependent on the spouses reactions). I hate role playing, but I think it's well done and tactful. And reveals (accurately, in my experience) much about ptsd and how he may be thinking (and feeling).

Best wishes to you (all).
