I’ve never posted here but I’m reaching out as I have no one else to talk to about this and I need to share I some way.
My husband suffers with PTSD and lately is becoming more and more angry and volatile. He has now started to direct this towards me ,I think as an outlet. He becomes very nasty and angry, but is always sorry and remorseful afterwards. He says he doesn’t mean the things he is saying. But it is crushing and it’s really affecting me. I don’t know if he is actually just not wanting to be together anymore but doesn’t want to admit it. We have been together over 8 years and have had many episodes and tough times but never anything like this.
He is a beautiful and compassionate man but this side to him is something which I don’t know how to handle.
He is pushing me away and I keep telling myself that it’s not what he actually wants or feels, that it is a result of his illness. But the doubt is always there.
I love him and have always done everything I possibly can to support him but I’m lost at what I else I can do and I can’t go on like this.
Has any other supporters been through similar periods? Does it get better or can you share advice?
