Betrayal Trauma Recovery - BTR.ORG

I been married to a man that’s paraplegic and suffers from depression unfortunately and I’d excuse him so much even with his abuse and porn usage. It got out of hand when we would go out on dates or just go out In general he would overly stare at women to a point he would feel uncomfortable and make the situation and every outing feel awkward. He wouldn’t initiate intimacy with me, it was rare when he did. He is emotionally, mentally and can be physically abusive. It’s hard to have people believe that your husband in a wheelchair is extremely emotionally abusive. I felt crazy, alone and unheard. I’m now separated living in the same house and cannot wait to move out when I’m financially ready. I’m so grateful for this podcast! It is a must hear.

I’m not religious and I still get a lot out of this podcast. My husband married me with no intention for me to be his primary source of intimacy. That’s abusive. When I tried to have conversations about our lack of intimacy he screamed, threatened or stonewalled. Also abusive. Him making a unilateral decision about MY intimacy or lack of intimacy is abusive. Thank you! As a suggestion, please use “part 1 of 2,” for example, in the title of episodes.

There can be no comprehension of the depths of suffering until you’ve personally experienced this form of trauma. Finding other women who UNDERSTAND, can provide support & wisdom & practical advice is priceless. I thank God for leading me to this podcast!

I am so thankful I stumbled upon this podcast. The information is so helpful for anyone dealing with an addicted spouse. The concepts apply to any type of addiction as well as narcissistic abuse. It is all abuse.
