When you are in a relationship with someone who has Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder the relationship will often be filled with a lot of stress, anger, confusion, worry and feeling as though your partner is not always the person who you fell in love with. Knowing the ways to help your partner and learning that being there for them in their time of need, when they are experiencing flashbacks will be extremely beneficial for them and they will quickly learn to trust you with their CPTSD and your relationship can become stronger and have a better chance of being happy together.
CPTSD is not easy for those who have it but you can help them just by staying by their side when they need you the most.
