Unfortunately, I learned about PTSD after pushing her away. Since her ex's death, things have gone downhill. For weeks, she cut me out more and more. I know she works all day, then spends the rest of her time with her child, so I know there wasn't another guy in the situation. It just got to the point where she couldn't call me on the phone or anything, we were existing on a few phone text messages and some days, not even that. Last week, she finally started texting me that she was so sorry and that she couldn't continue doing this to me. I pushed her in text messages until she said she couldn't handle having a boyfriend due to all of the things rushing in her head. I did mail her a letter telling her that I loved her and that I know she needs space, so who knows what will happen in the future. I feel that she cares about me, but I know it's not possible to consider other people's feelings if you are struggling to get through each day. I don't know what to expect now, I am grieving, but I haven't given up hope on her yet. And whether she comes to me again or not, I really hope she at least admits she needs help and seeks it. This has been spiraling for many weeks, but we haven't had any contact in 5 days. I thought by having her end the relationship, I would have closure and feel better, but after reading about PTSD and doing a lot of thinking, I feel worse than ever. I hope my letter hits home with her and she gets the help she needs.
