Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default A Long Hard Day Coming Up and Can't Sleep
I kicked my son out of the house right before Thanksgiving and he hasn't spoken to me for over a month.

He called late last night and asked me to take him to his court hearing Monday. I said I would and it is going to be a 4 hour drive one way trip and another 4 hours back.

I'm so nervous because I have no clue what to say to him. He hates me right now and the only reason he called is because no one else will take him.

I can't sleep again because of this and I HATE driving. My nerves will be shot by the time I get home tomorrow evening.

I pray he forgives me and wants to come back home.

Any advice on what to say to him. I'm thinking I shouldn't say anything unless he talks.

Tammy

Tammy,

I don't know what to suggest, but I wanted you to know you are in my thoughts.

You are probably already on your trip. I pray that God gives you the right words to say and that He strengthens you so you can make it there and back. I can imagine what it is like. Commitments like that make me feel trapped. Because I never know how my body or mind will hold up. You want to be strong for the person you are helping.
I hope your son realizes this.

Hi, it went OK for the most part. He slept on the way there. On the way back we didn't fight. I think he will start speaking to me again.

The weather was horrible it was hailing when we left that town, and pouring down rain most of the way home. I felt drained and went straight to bed, but the storm is here now and the thunder woke me up so this will be another night with only 3 hours of sleep.

Thanks
Tammy

Take a hot shower and cuddle up.
