But you are not a Carer in an adult relationship with another consenting adult who has PTSD. I am sure I read that Sisu said that it was 8 months into the relationship when this occurred. Once it happens what do you do? This is the first and only time it has happened from what I understand. Does this mean she has to "live with it" because she agreed to be in a relationship with someone who has PTSD - an illness she does not really understand? I have been with Anthony for over a year and I still get surprises at how PTSD can rear its ugly head. Have I left - no way. If Anthony disappeared for 2 months without a word...would I leave....I don't know but it would be really hard to rationalise that he wanted to be in a relationship with me if he did it.

There are many many posts over this forum about how Carers don't understand PTSD. Bec, you come from a point of understanding as you have PTSD yourself so you can identify and appreciate what Matt goes through. Does Sisu have a clue what her boyfriend really goes through - I doubt it.
