Hello. My wife has C-PTSD, and our relationship is often a struggle because of it. I'm not sure how to support her best, and I often respond to her aggression with anger and frustration that I'm sure makes it worse. She refuses couples therapy and thinks that treatment will just be medicine that makes her a vegetable, or else she insists that everything is my fault. So we fight a lot. Like I said, it's a struggle. I'm hoping to connect here with people who can give me some advice, perspective, ideas, support of some kind.

Welcome to the forum. :)
I am sorry you are having trouble with your wife. Head down to the supporters section and there you will find a group of very supportive people with a lot of knowledge. Start by reading the 'sticky' threads.
Best wishes.

Welcome!
Would your wife be open to reading others experiences? I ask because she doesn't seem to very open to you but perhaps she would be open to other sufferers?
There are plenty of people who aren't on any meds. Some of us are on as needed meds, while others are on daily meds. So it really does vary. Also, there are therapists who won't push meds on patients who don't want them.

Hi and welcome!
I am on meds but I am certainly not a vegetable. Also it was entirely my choice to take them, and it is my choice if I choose to stop taking them.
As for couples therapy - I would think that in the first instance she needs individual therapy before starting to address stuff as a couple. Just my opinion.

Welcome! I understand more than I can tell you! My husband has C PTSD as well.
Every day is a struggle! I know for sure.
I came to this forum looking for someone who could talk with me that would understand how I feel and honestly i think you would be a great person for that.
I do not know how to message my info to you on here because I have yet to figure all of that out. But if you know how and would like to talk, please just initiate it and i would love to chat sometime.
