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.

I agree with Veiled:

I seriously think a threat to sign a child over is an attempt to save the child from him.
This is such a crappy situation. We really can't tell you what to do. I do want you to know that more than likely, he will never be the same again. The man that you once knew is gone. The man that you love, is it him now or then, or both? Such tough questions. Basically, it comes down to this: Do what you got to do.

Keep us posted.

I would say it has more to do with his irrational thought patterns he would currently have, opposed to any real significance in the term itself. To say the words are a trigger, would have to related directly to the trauma itself, as batgirl stated in regard to hers. That is relevant... opposed to just clutching at straws and making excuses for irrational thoughts and behaviour.

I would say it is more to do with his current emotional state, and that he really just doesn't know what to do with the words, how to interpret them, feel them or even understand them anymore. It is part of PTSD with agoraphobia and other issues that draw us away from others, which also entails issues with acceptance, positive comments and so forth. Self esteem has a lot to do with it in the mix.
