Something struck me when I read this - you're talking so much about things that you do for your partner but you never mentioning her ASKING YOU to hold back? Has she? Or is this reluctance coming from you?
thanks tuquoisesea...

it's coming from me. i have never had to deal with such intense feelings like rage or shame or some of the other things PTSD and DID has brought to my partners life. i no longer know what to do when those things enter daily life and i just want them to go away. i know ignoring them doesn't help. but i also know that it really isn't much of my own stuff to deal with. it's her stuff. that's where i get all confused i think. i just dont know what to do...

thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences too... it does help give me some perspective. something to think about.
Thanks for this!
