The piece about your daughter really resonated with me as I see that I have made my youngest almost exactly like me - always worrying about what every one thinks, quiet, withdrawn. It is solely because of my trauma and how reactive I am.

I'm in therapy now 2X a week and it is helping, but my regret about this and losing my marriage runs deep and it is painful.

You are not alone.

Hi - I'm 45, wife wanted a divorce last July and I fibally got the courage to go to a real therapist. I was diagnosed with COTSD about two months ago and while it's been painful to dig up the past, it's helped immensely with my relationship with my children.

I think my relationship with my wife is gone, and it hurts so much to know that if I had this diagnosis earlier I probably wouldn't be getting divorced. Do the regret runs deep.

Thsnk you for creating this community as it seems to be thriving.
