[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 566140, member: 13542"] AW, first of all, many gentle hugs for you......you are in need of some comfort. Others have offered good advice, I would agree with not only couples counseling but individual counseling as well. You have every right to be in a relationship where you are comfortable, feel heard, feel seen, feel safe, feel valued, respected, nourished and connected. It sounds to me like you need to find yourself, to determine who you are, what you want, how you want to be loved...........you will likely require help to do that. For me, relationships have been a mirror for how much I love, accept and value myself. As I have learned to understand my own needs and how to communicate them, all my relationships, with everyone, have improved dramatically. And, I got a lot of help to do that since I wasn't taught that in my childhood family. I think Janet said it well, you're in a unique situation with various anxiety and PTSD issues which will require a professional trained in those issues to help you to untangle it. I'm sorry you are feeling the way you do, it hurts to not feel understood............I hope you find a way to feel the love you deserve in the way you need to feel it...........Lots of gentle hugs coming your way............
