You might want to read The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans; that book saved my life.
also...Boundaries by Townsend and Cloud is so helpful

I love Patricia Evans. That book saved me too.
PTSD goes untreated because we are all in denial about what it is. As i was being diagnosed I kept going to ER, suicidal. So i got lots of diagnóstic input. I realised we were sort of hoping I was bipolar or borderline or just depressed because these can be treated. When PTSD stand alone, is not a result of childhood trauma, there really is no medical or therapy treatment. People who say they do psychotherapy for ptsd are probably treating something else euphemistically called ptsd. Its a physiological thing. Medicine can help people not care, but at a lot of personal cost. Thats ahh our suicide rates are high.
