| | 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. |  | |

| | Hi April, I agree that your username has been breached, though that is also your fault because you have left yourself logged in on your home system, your husband has then accessed your profile and posted under it. You breached forum policy. Your husband deceived members under your username. You have been moderated as a result. I have changed the account details back to yourself, you need to reset your password and even ensure your email account is secure. |

| | April - I am sorry for what you have gone through and the resulting response you have had here. Nothing like kicking you when down, huh? I don't have any words that will help - I just wish things would improve for you.
Thinking of you...

| | It is a sad thing, that a spouse would hi-jack another's account in that way. So sorry that you experienced this. I suppose it is a risk when people share computers, but when the person you feel you should be able to trust violates that trust in such a manner, it is a very low blow indeed.

| | Thanks, I don't think I was left logged in, at least not to my knowledge. I have to log in each time. Anthony I did not knowingly "breach" anything. I have not even logged in in quite some time, it is still very hard for me to share here, and I do not need to be berated any more than I am at home, and I blamed no one here for what happened. You would think that a "supposed" intoductory poster, with several posts by their name, an intro already written as well, would have raised a red flag as tight as it is here. I did encourage him to join the forum, but I never thought he'd use my acct., and in fact he is so disinterested in my condition I never thought he'd even visit.
He just said he knows nothing about message boards and didn't feel changing my info, etc was wrong, and claimed he didn't even know it was "me". O-K. Boy what a great way to support me.
Passwords can also be hacked.
Oh well hell. I give up. Good luck everyone. |

Are you calling me a child abuser?  Without knowing the facts. as stated below, they abuse me, and are very capabel of doing so. I am the only person on earth, including both parents, who have tried to help those kids in 6 long years. Furthermore, I do not drink on any regular basis, VERY rarely, but I did this past Sunday when he told me he would no longer support my endeavors and wanted to break his marriage vows to support and be there for me. I was devastated, so yes, I had a few screwdrivers. No, they didn't do me any good, or bad.
By the way, I occasionally see Dr Phil, who came to fame as a corporate "jury selection attorney" so I do not put much faith in his stuff. He doesn't even believe in attachment disorder. I AM an avid SCRUBS watcher at
3:00 in the afternoons.

I don't think getting angry at me for trying to help someone based on what was said is fair. If anyone is at fault here it is not me. Just for the record, if anyone else said the same in a post my response would not change as parents should protect their children and provide a safe environment for them.
As I don't spend hours on the forum I am not familiar with everyone who is here and I don't go second guessing everyone doing a profile check before I reply to each post. I post on the faith that people are being open and honest.
I am sorry for what your husband has done in breaching your identity.

Cowgirl | Thank you Cowgirl, and I just wanted to say that I am a cowgirl too!
I would really be in bad shape without my horse, he is my life and my
big anxiety reliever. Do you have horses?
Nicolette, I am very sorry I got angry, it was misplaced on you as I am trying to keep my cool here [at home] and not go off, and anything about kids really gets to me in the extreme, because of my loss of my older son. BTW, love your name, I have a niece named Nicole and if I ever had a little girl I wanted to name her Nicolette. [love Nicolette Larsen too!]
Thanks to everyone for your support and kind words; I got my password changed and all and I'm pretty sure he will never do that again. It IS possible he is so ignorant to not know what he was doing. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
My parents are telling me I will never get better unless I leave this situation, but I can't go anywhere immediately so right now I need to get a therapist and keep on keepin on until I can change my situation. I'm a tough one, just a bit wacked.  |

| | LostintheFog, I have taken you out of moderation now you have fixed your account security issues. I deleted your post about horses, nothing to do with this topic. I would advise your partner to get his own account though if he wishes to discuss you here as a carer... naughty David. |
