a newbie - husband to abused wife.....
Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2015 7:26 pm
Hello.
I did post something in the "Newbies" forum/topic to introduce myself and our situation.
Quickly, my wife suffered horrible abuses as a child and into adulthood. She is presently diagnosed with Complex PTSD, Disassociation, Major Depression, and an Eating Disorder. She also cuts herself as some type of "relief" in especially difficult times.
In my earlier post, I do say that I am here to support my wife however I can. I am looking not only for some advice and tips and education, but also some support for myself, as this whole thing gets difficult at times, and I hate with a passion seeing her suffer.
I know in the real world, there is only so much I can do to be a good support to her, and I'm more than willing to do that. In a fantasy world, of course, I just wish I could suck all the pain and horrible nightmares and memories out from her and permanently dispose of them. I also wish I could simply heal her and/or help her recovery with all the love I can give her.
What's a husband of such a woman to do?
No, I'm not ignorant regarding all this - I have been educating myself, and do accompany her as a supporting partner to most of her appointments. I have learned some real ways that I can assist her in a moment of crisis.
I'm just left with this feeling of wanting to do even more, and that's the main reason I joined up here.
It is difficult, and I do need some support in addition to wanting to help her better.
I'd appreciate whatever you people can throw my way.
Thanks in advance!
Take care, and all the best.....
