He’s not yet ready to face his trauma. But it impacts our life together in so many ways and I’m learning more and more now that I know there was sexual abuse in his past. I’m dealing with those impacts, but he is still resistant to even recognize the link to his abuse. My dreams have been put on hold until he can begin processing this trauma and healing.
Until then I feel so very alone. And it feels so unfair. And I question if I want to stick around and keep feeling like my needs are marginalized because he is unwilling to process and heal.
does anyone else feel that way? I have a lot of guilt in feeling this way. It wasn’t his fault he was abused. It’s not his fault he has to deal with all the pain it caused.
i can’t talk to anyone but my therapist, and that just doesn’t seem like enough for me right now. I’m alone and feeling hopeless. Grieving for what I thought my Marriage would be.
