Hi ~ I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. It certainly doesn't help your self-esteem!

Is your partner seeing a therapist for the PTSD?? I would HOPE so. If she is, suggest to her (when she's in a nicer mood) to mention this to her therapist. Ask her to talk to the therapist about WHY she says such negative things to you -- causing you to back away & question the relationship. She needs some professional help with this. Maybe she attacks you because you're THERE -- when actually she is upset with someone else altogether.

I hope she'll talk to a therapist about this. It isn't doing your relationship any good. If she refuses to, or denies doing it -- you may have to re-think this whole arrangement. And don't feel BOUND because she has no where else to go --- she's a big girl and needs to take care of herself. You're not her caretaker. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

Thanks for this!
