Good Morning All,
This will relate a little to my PTSD thread and http://ioplist.org/showthread.php?tid=3196 and the one on killer Fentanyl http://ioplist.org/showthread.php?tid=3860
Been a rough couple of last weeks dealing with this. Most important thing I have learned with PTSD is that you have to calm your mind and even re learn how to think differently. I have had too many major events happen over the past 4 months that are making controlling this a tad difficult.
Here is current story and any advice iz appreciated..
PTSD really kept me from being in any kind on serious relationship for the past 8 years. I RARELY dated. 4 months ago I started dating and all is going great. Then after about 6 weeks into this relationship her son of 23 from a previous marriage passed away by getting his hands on some of that synthetic killer Fentanyl. which I have a thread on http://ioplist.org/showthread.php?tid=3860.
I care about this girl deeply but since her son has passed away she is not doing well. She tried to take her own life and spent 2 weeks in the hospital after that. She has started to drink which is what really scares the crap out of me because she had had a problem with alcohol and kicked it about 10 years ago. Bottom line is I have been doing all I can to try and help but I am no longer sure I can help. I cannot imagine loosing a child. She is seeing a Psychologist which is good but not sure if helping. I am not good at dealing with people who have been drinking and unless she finds a way to deal all of this it will consume her. I got no clue what to do here and neither does her family. How do you help a mother who lost a son that was everything to her???
Peace All
Fury
