[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has complex PTSD and having the children has triggered it. You should talk to your therapist about that.. he more than likely has anxiety, depression, and ADHD[/quote]

This. My husband is similar. [/quote]

Adding it in part manifest as ADHD type symptoms. I mean, I think he definitely has ADHD as well but the CPTSD exacerbates everything trauma is such a jerk [/quote]

Okay, with love: You get to call it "trauma" if you're going to therapy and doing your work about it. "I have trauma" isn't an excuse, it's possibly an explanation. So if OP's spouse wants to claim a diagnosis, he simultaneously picks up responsibility for learning how to manage that diagnosis.

I've got CPTSD, a lifelong physical disability, and a few other letters to add to my name. None of those things is an excuse for me acting like a clown, and all of them mean I get extra responsibilities for managing myself so others don't have to, because I'm an adult. [/quote]
