First - thank you to all who responded to my question. I had no idea such wonderful resources were available. I appreciate all the kind words and willingness to listen or just "be there".

That being said, I'm not sure if this should have been the start of a new thread, but I have more questions about PTSD behavior...

This weekend, my bf was supposed to come and meet my son. He never called and never showed. We spoke the night before and he said he had kidney stones (a usual occurrence for him) but that he'd be at my house at the appointed time. Well, that should've been 2pm yesterday and I've not heard word from him since Saturday night. I'm tempted to throw the whole relationship out the window at this point. Obviously, I'm tremendously upset and have lots of questions. Can anyone help me with a couple of these?

Do PTSD sufferers become physically ill more easily and/or frequently than those who do not suffer from it? Is it in the realm of possibility that PTSD would cause one to feel so overwhelmed by a "big deal", ie meeting the child of a loved one, that he'd shut down? I don't know whether to call him and yell at him for standing us up, or ask "WTF?", or just call the whole thing off. I don't know how much more bs I can take. I'm in counseling and have been for 2 years ( I have other issues) but I can't drag him along behind me, too. When is enough enough? How do I face this most immediate situation (him standing me up and then not calling since)? I realize that not everything is attributable to the illness and I do not want to be manipulated by it, but I am having a hard time drawing the line between making allowances for PTSD and being a doormat. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Sorry to ramble - really upset this morning. Not sure how to deal.

Thanks.
