Hi Desert,

A couple of things: First of all, never apologize for venting. That's what this place is all about. It gives ussomewhere to yell and scream :cussing: To throw up our hands when we don't know And to find out that there are others that are going through the exact same thing that we are which means we're not going crazy after all!

I know that when Kim says things to hurt me, she says afterwards that she is trying to make me hurt the same way she is. It's not something that she tries to do any other time but during one of her blow-ups. And it's something she apologized for afterwards. I don't know how I could handle it if after her outburst, she didn't feel remorse for what she had said (or done). I would think that his depression is such that he really doesn't care what's going on. I hope Anthony is able to help you with some understanding. Also, have you looked around for a support group? I know you're moving soon, but there may be a few folks you could chat with, face-to-face, until the big move.

Keep your chin up, and remember that you are not the cause of his depression and hurtful words. There is so much going on inside him, and inside everyone suffering from PTSD, that those of us who do not have it may never know what it's all about. Just remember there are folks around that will listen to you vent and rant, and anything else you need to do to make it through this.

Good luck, Warren
