Dear birdie816:

Congratulations for staying away for a whole month from a man who “emotionally abused (you)”. I hope you keep staying away. You wrote that you suffer from  C-PTSD symptoms, as a result of that relationship, correct?

What I do know about Complex PTSD is that it is about traumas in childhood, not in adulthood. You did mention “old childhood wounds”-

Are the symptoms of C-PTSD that you referred to, did they follow this relationship or did they exist for you in one form or another prior to this relationship?
