I have no support at home
Trauma Support / by AthenaNeeners
Last post
 May 22nd, 2023
...See more I am a recovering trauma survivor from CPTSD and I have been in intensive therapy since January. When I started this, my husband and I had a lot of conversations about what I might need and how he could be supportive. He was enthusiastic about providing that support at the time, but......then he didn't. In fact, he's, whether he realizes it or not, actively triggering me and making things worse. It doesn't matter what resources I send him, he's just impatient and doesn't listen to me, or he gets angry really easily. It's gotten to a point in which I don't feel comfortable sharing any of my emotions with him anymore. I don't have anyone safe to talk to and try to process my experience outside of the therapy office. I don't do vulnerability with anyone else because of said trauma. I'm at my wits end. Now I have to mask at home so he doesn't have to deal with me, or I have to wait until he is asleep to cry and mourn and process my pain. I'm so tired and worn out and just DONE, you know?
