Thank you Kizzie and Three Roses! I need to confirm with my therapist, but I believe I had symptoms of PTSD after the initial trauma and then the years of abuse led to C-PTSD. Either way, I am happy to be here and thank you for the welcome.

Hi! I've recently divorced my uOCPDh and have been a follower of the sister site Out of the Fog. I've suffered PTSD since I was a child after witnessing my father's murder.

PTSD has been misdiagnosed throughout the years under everything under the sun; however this diagnosis has held strong for more than 10 years after finding a competent therapist.

My first marriage ended after I found out my husband was having an affair with a good friend - loads of gaslighting before the truth came out. This triggered a severe PTSD reaction. I married my grade school friend a couple of years later and was so in love. As his alcohol abuse increased, so did his emotional and psychological abuse of me. He was diagnosed with OCPD during our marriage and it got worse as the years went on.

Here I am, divorced twice, mother of two wonderful kids, great job. I am learning to live alone and breathe through through the "triggers" but I feel very much alone in my pain.

Thank you for listening.
