Undiagnosed Struck By A Sociopath... Aftermath Ptsd

[HelloMo80]

Well, definitely get some therapy and work as quickly as you can to get the paternity thing revoked. If at all possible, sit down with your family, brief them on some details, and stress how dangerous you ex is. That way, they can be alert if he ever shows up (which I doubt he will...sociopaths only do what's convenient for them. And traveling to see his daughter or harass you isn't convenient.)

Also, it might be good to have your daughter spend some time with her grandparents while you make the necessary arrangements to get out of there.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I can't quite forget this situation. Vertigo, what can you do right now to get your daughter into a less stressful environment and improve your symptoms?

Have you told your dr what you have told us here? About your mindset/symptoms and the dynamics playing out at home at present? Have you spoken about anti depressants with him/her? Could you print off your first post and hand it to your dr? I am not sure where you live but the UK offers social support when people feel overwhelmed too.

Hi Vertigo,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum! :)

I am late on this introduction, but I do hope that you were able to connect with a therapist. Helping yourself to heal is the best thing you can do for yourself and your daughter.

Wishing you the best.

Debbie

My ex is a sociopath, he shot family pets right in front of the kids without any remorse for how the children felt.

I think you need to leave your daughter with grandma and grandpa for a week and cry as much as you want to. Eat chocolate, watch movies and talk to your therapist. You need some self soothing.
