Totally new this

[Simpleton]

Hello. I have been in a tumultuously dysfunctional relationship for 10 years now.  My partner has CPTSD and has been asking me to educate myself on this subject. I am more of a "hands on" kinda problem solver who doesn't really like to delve into the "why" of things.
I finally started doing some research last week. I feel like I have opened my eyes for the first time in a long time. In my ignorance I have fuelled fires when thinking I was putting them out. 
I am tired of being part of the problem and am intent on becoming part of The Solution.
I am hopeful that through the knowledge and experiences of others I can gain the tools to be the friend my partner has needed for a long time now.
Thank you to the creators of this site, and to you all for being here and for sharing.

Hi Simpleton 

I'd like to welcome you to the site. Awesome you are looking into the cPTSD of your partner. 
There is a dedicated section on this site for "those who love 'them' ":
"When Someone in Your Life has CPTSD" http://outofthefog.net/C-PTSD/forum/index.php?board=12.0

I hope and wish you'll find much support there, and feel free to view and/or contribute to the many other sections of this site as well.

Welcome again,

Dutch Uncle.
