I can't speak for all supporters, but sometimes we get sucked into our own sufferer's denial, too. I was asked to trust him, and accept that all I needed to know about his "issues" was that if he told me to leave him alone, I needed to leave him alone. Against my better judgement, I listened to him and respected his wishes that I not research anything else about PTSD and what it brings (and, to be fair to myself, "PTSD" wasn't really mentioned but maybe once, long ago).
Was I in denial about PTSD and what it brings? Yup, and I'm not the type of person to NOT research something like that. But I was also trying to respect his own boundaries...unfortunately, it just enabled him to keep on NOT dealing with his "issues."
