Mark, you are the real deal. What you just described was me working in IT support and masking all day, and then having to come home and decompress and unload on my wife. I was diagnosed 4 years into my marriage. My father is worse than I am and has zero emotional intelligence and never, ever looks at the human side of things. Everything in his mind is legalistic. My mother suffers from Cassandra syndrome with dealing with him all these years.

This is especially true for children who's brains aren't mature enough to handle "big emotions". Don't say something like: "Stop crying or I'll really give you something to cry about!" They already have something to cry about... THAT'S why they're crying! And the younger the child, the more trauma those mismanaged "big feelings" can cause, not only leading to PTSD, but CPTSD, and other lifelong disorders. We're dealing with that now, many decades later, just as we were starting to feel safe. Hoping for a Dx soon, but for the time being, therapy is holding us together. 😢

So true Mark, I denied my feelings for almost 10 years within my relationship until I had a breakdown. That's when I knew I had to end it for my own sanity. I ended up taking an overdose four months later and all he had to say to my kids was he was sorry to hear that, but had moved on and didn't want to come to the hospital, as that would give me false hope. How ironic was that when all he ever did was give me false hope. It's been nearly two years now and I'm still suffering from PTSD and have had to work through alot to overcome the damage that relationship caused me. Please ladies have a long hard think about throwing your life away on a man who really couldn't care whether you lived or died.

Mark, you are a savior, I look forward to each new segment……..always right on! I dumped my therapist, he was just not sensitive to the issues!

Very true! But what if this is done to be able to survive a painful relationship?
