I'm also looking for a book of such, any luck?

Hi,
I'm new here.
I found this place in a hopeless search on the internet for information.
My partner was diagnosed c-ptsd 6 years ago.
I'm looking for tools that can help me cope, maintain and stand up for myself. Really I want a good book to help me navigate this but I haven't been able to find one. A book for me, the loving partner of someone with cptsd. Please if anyone has recommendations.
I knew but didn't really know what it might mean for our relationship untill now. We've been together for three Years, planning futures together.
Only in the past year or so is his cptsd really started to affect me.
He's mean and overreacts to little things. It comes up in approx 3month cycles. We can talk about it sometimes, we're getting better at seeing it for what it is, we're both in therapy. It's getting grating for me. His episodes of anger/depression last about two weeks. I can hang for about one and a half then I burn out or snap back.
It's creating more and more distance and makes me not want to be around him. He's the most incredible human I've ever met aside, and I want to see if it can work.
It's nice to hear others expressing things I've felt. It will be nice to have this place, as friends don't understand. Thanks for being here.
