Oh how awful! Please do not burden yourself with any guilt about her challenge ((sadmanagain)). There is literally nothing you can do to fix this challenge in her. She isn’t really angry at you but at the way this is crippling her. Unfortunately a lot of anger comes out as it’s bad enough she went through what she described and now she relives it in such an intrusive way that it can get downright frustrating. She really should be seeing a specialist for this, not a social worker.

Her anger at you more than likely is about her no longer being capable of being close or intimate with you since this condition got activated. It’s a terrible thing to be afraid of your own mind that can suddenly get crippled by flashbacks that can get very debilitating.

It’s not that she is divorcing you personally, but anything you might do that can trigger her to having a terrible ptsd reaction. It’s a very hard thing for others to understand and equally so for the one suffering.
