PTSD, heartbreak, pain, abandonment

How do I help someone who pushed me away after coming home from being deployed, I tell myself it's from the trauma. Do I just give space? I love them. He was my boyfriend he stopped responding to me when he got home in September only read my messages and then eventually sent a hateful message randomly and blocked me on everything

🥺

That is so difficult.

I'm so sorry you are struggling.

I can see you care so much.

It's hard to know what he's gone through, especially when he's acting differently and blocked you.

You have reached out.

You let him know how you feel .

Now, as hard as it is, all you can do is prioritise your mental health, he knows how to reach you if he genuinely wants to 💖💜

I'm so sorry! I also push people away, I think in my case it's because I feel like nobody can understand and protecting myself by not being vulnerable at all (subconsciously). Ofc this might be entirely different for him, I'm just trying to offer a perspective and reassure that it's most definitely because of his trauma.
