From what you have shared sandman, she is really struggling and doesn’t see how she can have a normal relationship. Ptsd can get so crippling and confusing and it ruins relationships because of how intrusive it is. I can get so crippling a person withdraws and isolates themselves in an effort not to experience a crippling trigger that can take all day away and the person just learns they have to be patient until it passes.

This is not a rejection or that you are a failure. A person doesn’t choose to develop ptsd just as they did not choose to so badly abused and repeatedly traumatized.
