Relationship Now what ?

[Yolanda]

This past Saturday my husband was diagnosed PTSD and cocaine abuse he's had several affairs he has an appointment this a.m. I need to bring up this in counseling because it never gets addressed because he'll blow up. This has been a pattern. I feel he does it as far as manipulation

What's the manipulation? The blowing up when confronted?

I say bring up whatever you need to. You've endured quite a bit and have the right to speak open and honestly!

Good luck and well wishes for you... please keep us updated!

Is he willing to get treatment for both as a dual diagnosis person?

If not, I say get out. It's not going to get better, not with cocaine abuse going on.

Yes he is. He says it's not a problem he went to the meetings today both of them. They want intensive therapy 5x a week. Also bipolar.

He says it's not like he does it like that but he's getting it a work , he never seem to have a day off he hates when I drop him off at work and that's where he's meeting these chicks at

So he's got the following going on:
- PTSD diagnosis
- Bi-polar diagnosis
- Cocaine abuse
- Multiple affairs

That's an awful lot.... How long have y'all been together? Has this been going on the entire time? You mentioned he was only recently diagnosed with PTSD, is that from a recent event or something that happened in the past? For what it's worth, cheating is not a symptom of PTSD.
