My wife has severe ptsd. She was abused as a child, by me and a crime victim. How can I help her?

First....the best way to help her is to help yourself learn how not to abuse.

Is she in counseling?

Welcome to Sober Recovery!!!

I agree with shutterbug that you need to stop abusing her first and foremost and you also need to also get help to get your abusive tendencies in check.

I think your wife needs counseling as well.

She is in counseling. I am no longer abusive to her. I am trying to help her.
