      I want to thank you for your words. My husband has no life and will not get one. He has no desire or believe that (we) should have social lives outside of each other and I KNOW that is also a big problem. Counseling will not work either as he doesn't believe in it and refuses. I know what I want and need to do. I just need to hear sometimes from someone else that I am not blowing this out of proportion and being selfish. Thank you again.

      From imajlv May 4

      Thank you for your response. I have been under tremendious stress. I just found out the young girl I am living with was sexually molested by her father throughout her life. Then the rest of her family came forward even her brothers and said they were also molested. Now all these people want to constantly be at my house and they expect me to feed and care for them. I am not suppoased to be around this. My cardiologists and therapists say no stress for me. I cannot physically or finacially take care of these people and nor do I want to even be around it. I am trying to stay in recovery. My ex took my 13 year old son and i HAVE NOT SEEN HIM IN MONTHS. tHAT IS VERY DEPRESSING TO ME. My so called boyfriend works for the gov and I never get to spend much time with him because he is always working. I got ran out of my house the other night because of all the fighting and drama and blew out my knee dancing so I have been bed ridden for aver a week. Maybe it is just hormonal? I dont think so. I have real issues but thanks for your advise

      My husband had Korean War PTSD, it nearly ruined our marriage. My son is headed for Afghanistan again soon, leaving wife, and 5 and 13 year old sons behind. I hope my husband hasn't ruined his life, since he felt he had to be tougher than his father. I am hoping to build a free self-help therapy support network, starting in the DC metropolitan area.
