I would think that within your relationships there are some boundaries which you have also set. Sometimes a PTSD Sufferer can take things too far and they need to be held accountable also and not be allowed to control a relationship through their illness.

I TOTALLY AGREE!

Also, try not to let the sufferer use their illness as an excuse. From my own personal experience when I faulted with either of these ideas, I was avoiding dealing with the issues of PTSD and adapting myself to the present circumstances. That is one of the hardest steps to take and is a continual process but necessary if you are going to function with others.

COMMUNICATION - it is always important to check understanding between each other.
