So,after an argument with my husband today, well the argument was with his "angry teenager" part, and after he broke the door jamb in anger at me for locking the deadbolt, I decided to pack a bag and leave with my two boys. It wasn't easy to do, and I am really upset still by the whole thing, but in the end I think it was the right thing to do... now hopefully we can meet with our counselor once I get back on Monday afternoon. I have her cell # and so I called her to let her know what is going on and she was supportive of me... She said that he needs to start facing his anger, and that maybe that time is now... so us being away is good. Frowner My boys are 6 and 2 and they did witness this outburst that my husband had, and its not the first time Frowner It was really scary to me.

I'm just really scared of what he's doing while I'm gone... and I really hate this dysfunction in our relationship, but DID is so challenging... any encouragement?

Ok, so i am back to get some honest feedback about this situation. Last night, the counselor concluded that a panic attack which is the result of my husband's PTSD is what caused his rage the other day. Her solution is that he needs to see the dr again and discuss his anti-anxiety meds again... which I took away and hid, because he was overdosing on these and then drinking on top of that. He has real trust issues with psychologists and psychiatrists etc... so... this makes me feel like the only person he trusts is our current couns. I trust her too, mostly, because I know that she has our best interest at heart... and she doubled up on our session last night which she most certainly did not have to do.

But here's my issue... he came home last night and slept on the couch, per my request, but what happens when a rage happens again? What happens if he doesn't make that dr appt... what happens if the dr doesn't get it? what happens if????? I'm just really upset by all of this, and I knwo that for him to heal, he needs my support, but I WAS traumatized by this event! I am not doing well... While I was away, my husband removed me from his Facebook friend list, which then put on facebook our marital status as seperated.... and the couns was upset with me for sharing about my hubby's DID with some supportive friends over the wkend without getting his permission first... The DID is a HUGE part of the puzzle as is the PTSD... Not sure where to go from here... I am waiting for the counselor to call me today, but my call block is on... I'm PISSED and she knows it too, thanks to our text convo this am! HELP????!!!!

What would you do?
