Title: Newly joined
Post by: Westman on December 10, 2025, 08:35:59 PM
1st post, all very new to me, quietly hopeful and grateful to find a forum like this. I'm 52 and thought things were going a bit better in life, then what felt like 'out of the blue' being confronted by my wife that she thinks I'm part of a multi generational trauma family which is affecting her to such an extent that she likely to need to leave the situation. I really understand her perspective. I recognised possible CPTSD a few years ago when she raised this then thought that could not really be me, or did not really have insight. I'm now re reading lots of John Bradshaw and Pete Walker and it 'ticks all the boxes' but I still have imposter syndrome feeling. We are at a crisis point in marriage and crossroads and the world feels upside down and quite disorienting as in another way nothing has changed. Thank you for accepting my request to join. I hope to understand more, seek support and to feel a bit less alone. Thank you.

Welcome. I am sorry you are a a crisis point in your marriage and I hope you and your wife can find a way to work things out, if that is what both of you would like to happen.
