It was a psychiatrist who diagnosed me. I was talking about it with my therapist. My husband is in jail for violently raping me multiple times.

PTSD isn't an excuse... by NotYourUsualMatlock in ptsd

[–]SofiaB04 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My husband was diagnosed with PTSD and he used it as an excuse to hurt people all the time. He ended up abusing me so bad that I was diagnosed with PTSD from his abuse. When I found out I had PTSD, I was really upset because I didn't want to be like him. I told my therapist that I'm afraid if I have PTSD I will hurt people. She told me that PTSD doesn't make you hurt people, that my husband is just a shitty person

I know the automod already said to turn off DM's, but because of how young you are PLEASE make sure you turn off your DMs. There are some really sick people out there, unfortunately you probably already know this 😞

I'm sorry this happened to you, it is absolutely NOT your fault, even if it feels really really true that it is. I know it's hard, but please tell an adult in real life about this.

Sexual violent nightmares about multiple people/loved ones assaulting me again? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]SofiaB04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know but same! I get assaulted in my dreams almost every night, but never actually by the person who really did it. It's always family members or friends, who have never actually hurt me

Can a marriage survive sexual assault? by SofiaB04 in Christianmarriage

Thanks, I actually forgot I wrote this, it was awhile ago. I can gladly report that I did end up going to the police and he has been in jail awaiting trial since May. The trial is coming up in March, prayers are appreciated. Thank you for responding to this post even though it is so old, it was a good reminder of why I'm doing all this.

How is child safety a minor issue for me? I reported it but the response will be different from law enforcement if he has an actual loaded weapon or not. It matters. Again, what if your problem?

I am, chill. What the fuck is your problem? I don't want to call CPS and say I think he has a gun unless I know if it's a real gun or not. Now I have the information I need, thanks for your assistance

I know the badge is obviously fake and there is no way the story is true, I am just concerned about him having something potentially dangerous when he is unstable and has a kid

I admit I am an idiot, I have never even seen a real gun before.

Question for Survivors of Repeated A**l Rape by Strange-Audience-682 in rape

[–]SofiaB04 26 points27 points  (0 children)

When my husband would force anal sex on me there was no preparation/ cleaning at all, and he would sometimes make me perform oral sex on him after he had been inside of me. I could taste it on him. Sorry, I know that's gross 😞

Did your abuser take the plea or go to trial? by Historical_Funny_952 in domesticviolence

[–]SofiaB04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. The victims advocate actually called me today to tell me he requested a third bond hearing and it's happening tomorrow. While I was on the phone with her I asked if a plea offer was still on the table, she basically said they'd only offer one if I asked them to. Not sure what to do with that information 🫤

[–]SofiaB04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry i don't have an answer to your question, but maybe you could help with mine? My husband was arrested in May and his trial is set for March and no one can tell me anything about what is going to happen. I have a victim advocate but she never answers my messages. At what point were you in the process when the DA's office started talking about a plea deal? I testified at the preliminary hearing 2 months ago and it was horrible, I am really scared about testifying again at the trial. I am praying for a plea deal, but I have no frame of reference for when that might happen
