They don't sound like they are being very supportive for you.Are you able to give them any info on PTSD to have them read on up on it to help them understand to some degree?

I'm wishing you nothing but the best....

Sparkles and dump trucks of groovy love,peace, light, joy and hugs ghi123!

Oh yes they know all the information. They seen ,and heard me in my nightmares. My husband walked out of the phycatrics office, did not want to listen to him. You said you just read my story, that my daughters have stayed with my abusers. I am a good mother, no ones perfect. But I have been there for them, their entire lives.I am a loving, caring mother. I would never want them to live the life I have. They do not want to go to the dr. with me to listen to them. I ask them why, they said cause he will trash them. Drs.Don’t trash anyone, but does that tell you something! Stella

My husband didn't understand PTSD. There just happened to be a documentary on TV one night. As the person was describing what they were going through he looked at me and said " that is you"

I said yes, that is me. Reading about it never sunk it. It was watching and listening that finally made him see that it's real.

I wish my own family saw that show about ptsd. Love to you!

Wishing you the best. It's hard to teach people about our illness.

Yes, It has been 14 years alone in this horrible disorder. I am so happy for you, now that your husband understands now, and can be supportive. My best to you , be well!
