The lost supporter
Posted , 2 users are following.
I recently found out that the person I was supporting (my ex, ptsd sufferer) shut down on me back in November, only to end up back at his ex’s home. I was completely devestated. I did everything this person asked of me when we were together, I made sacrifices, I spent money, I supported his illness, etc.
It was a major blow to find out that I wasn’t really loved and probably barely liked by this person. What does a supporter do with this type of discovery? Although I’m not as heart-broken as I probably could be, but I’m very disappointed to say the least. If I had known back then when I made the decision to start dating him, I would have never bothered.
I know that ptsd does cause one to misbehave, but I never anticipated this kind of behavior. Deceitful, lying, destructive and betraying.

That's unfortunate, and I'm very sorry to read this for you. A friend of mine just recently went through the same thing. His b/f of years had addiction problems due to PTSD, and it ended up the same as yours. What worked for him was just moving on. You can't force the person back, or make them do anything other than what they're doing. All you can do is move on and work on you. I'm sorry that happened to you.
