Ok?this is a very hard thread for me to word right so, bear with me.
My wife and I have been married for 3 years now. I?m 23, she is 22. We were married when we were 20/19. We dated for about 6 months, were engaged for a year.
She has her BA in Psychology and has been working for CPS (Child Protective Services) for the past year now. Her job is very stressful.
Her childhood was not so great, and she was molested by her older half-brother a few times, plus her step-dad, Mark, was a meth-head. He was with them when she was 3 ?> 17. He mentally abused her, treated her bad b/c either she was a girl, we?ll assume. She has a younger brother who Mark treated just fine for the most part.
Well, a few weeks ago she started therapy because for quite sometime now she?s been having bad thoughts and highly depressed at times. So?she?s been in therapy for going on her 3rd week now. We hardly see each other because I?ve started a new job where I work nights. She works from 8a- 4:30p, but goes to therapy from 5p-9p. I work 9p-7a.
Me?I was molested by my older half-sister a few times when I was around 11 years old. I don?t know that it was that traumatic for me, although I do have depression I think. My dad did not want me, as he verbally told me plenty of times. When he was dying of cancer, I went to the hospital to see him and he wouldn?t even acknowledge that I was there, just said that he ?wished his son could be here? (speaking of his son Robert). Also, my mother is schizophrenic, as is 95% of the rest of my family. My mom was caught trying to ?baptize? me whenever I was months old, and my aunt walked in just in time. That?s whenever my aunt took guardian-ship over me but couldn?t really take care of me since she worked as an LPN at 2 jobs. So I lived with foster-parents and seen my mother on the weekends.
Anyway?now for the purpose of the purpose of the back-stories. My wife has decided that she wants me to go to therapy as well now. So that I can fully relate to what she?s feeling. To me it sounds like if I don?t go?we?re through. She says that she?s turning into a different person. Although still in love me with me and wants to be with me, she wants someone who can understand her. Someone who can read her.
I guess my question is?do you think I need therapy? I mean, I know that AT can?t diagnose me, but?personal opinion? I feel fine most of the time but I do feel a lot that if I weren?t around a lot of people?s lives would be a lot better off. I feel like such a burden to so many people. I dunno, I feel like I have it all under control but?do I?
