Hey, I'm new here. I'm David, a 45 yr old male whose present wife was diagnosed about a yr ago w/PTSD. It happened while my kids(not her's, biologically) were in therapy for RAD (Reactive attachment Disorder) because their biological mom deserted all of us some 7 yrs ago. The therapist homed in my present wife and brought up all these issues about abusive past relationships, etc. Now she's on 5 medications - Risperdal, Valium, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, & trazedone(Sp?). I have to work 2 jobs to barely afford our house payment & bills. I am exhausted when I get home and I try hard to talk with her about her problems, but I must admit I am Aquarius - not a great communicator & when she lights into me I tend to walk away after being hit by multiple, repetitve insults. She takes care of the kids as best as she can after they get home from school, but she stays up late, is afraid to leave the house or get her driver's license, and the kids - in their RAD condition - give her holy hell. We have made progress recently, but we don't share the same bedroom. She claims our bedroom as her's because she says it's her only safe haven. We havent had much sex in the last few yrs and she blames me for that. But who wants to have sex after being verbally blasted?? Then, in the last 3 days, things have escalated to intolerable. I didnt go to my 2nd job today because she was screaming and begging me not to leave her alone with my kids. I'm pretty sure I must quit my 2nd job so I can get home by 5:30 to take care of them. The house is in total disarray, I do most of the cooking, laundry and cleaning with what little energy I have, and when I DO try to discuss her problems, it turns into the same old battle where she says I'm a bad parent and I don't love her, etc etc etc. I'm not looking for pity - I usually have a very upbeat attitude - but I am considering splitting up with her even though I am still very much in love with her. I feel helpless & hopeless. I need suggestions..... thanks in advance. David
