Relationship My Wife Suffers Daily

[Cory Stan]

My wife has lost her children accidentally. She has had concussion symptoms for many years. She has Sturge Weber Syndrome. She has an eating disorder. She has PTSD. She is normally very loving and sweet but when the mood strikes her, we will be in a huge argument about something stupid. Yes I cause much of it but the way it expands is concerning. She thinks I am distant and don't love her as much as I did before. Well that is simply not true. I love her more everyday. I am new to this telling strangers about my life thing and not being private but I am not sure what to do.

This is one of those things that's really hard to handle totally on your own (or on her own). You can't fix things for her, she has to work on her own stuff, but she can't just work on her own stuff, she needs help. Is she in therapy? That seems like the place to start. From what I hear, it's not uncommon for a supporter to have a therapist of their own, so they have someone they can safely open up to and to help them sort out what's going on.

This forum is a great resource and I'm sure you can find some information and insight here, but I can't imagine your wife being able to deal with what she's got to deal with without the help of a really good, experienced therapist.

Welcome to the forum!

As a suffer I feel like my husband doesn't love me regularly and I would appreciate it if he did say it or show it regularly to remind me he does love me even if I'm thinking I'm useless/pathetic etc. I also hate it when he gets mad because I can't explain shit straight away. I have no idea wtf my brain is doing I'm not sure I can always explain it to others. Anyway good luck and hugs!
