Introducing Myself as a Carer - Wife Has Complex PTSD

[vee_dog]

Hello. My name is Tommy and I'm new here. I'm a Carer for my wife who suffers from Complex PTSD. We've known each other nearly 30 years and have been married for almost 6 years now. Her PTSD didn't really kick in until the second year of our marriage. I am 58 years old and she's 44. She has 2 sons from previous marriages, 21 and 17 years old. I've been a teacher for 27 years after several years on the road as a musician. I look forward to sharing and learning here and am hopeful that tomorrow will be a better day.

Welcome to the forum Tommy, lovely to have you. I am also a carer, though I am the parent of a sufferer rather than a spouse. We have an active Carers forum though I have always found it very useful to ask questions of the sufferers as well. I do hope you enjoy your time here and I look forward to chatting with you more.

Hi Tommy, I'm glad you decided to post here. I know my ptsd is hard on you, too, and I hope posting on this forum and reading here will be good for us both.

Love you.
