Supporter New Here

[Lisa Hernandez]

Hi my name is Lisa. I'm new here I came across this site googling for some type of help with a new friend in my life. He has ptsd, wounded in Afghanistan and he was honest and told me he wasn't able to love. I thought he would be safe for me to have a relationship but it backfired and I find myself falling in love with him. We spend time maybe 1x a week. I would like help in adjusting to this. He has good days where he thinks of me and even dreams of me. He has days where I don't hear from him at all for a week or two. I give him space and I let him know that I can't take the bad away but I can try my best to help him through it. Thank you for letting me join and for listening to me.

Hi and welcome.

The best advice I can give you is don't stay in the relationship hoping it will get better.

Hugs if you accept them.

Hi and Welcome @Lisa Hernandez .
Sadly Sighs is correct - if you can continue with the relationship as it is, then well done you, but you will not change him and recovery - if it happens takes many years. PTSD is very tough on everybody - the sufferers and the supporters. Thank you for wanting to find out more about it.

Thank you both.
