My Husband’s Therapist Wants Him To Start Taking Short Walks In The Community Is It A Good Idea?
He is the stay at home partner but has a fear of going anyplace without me. I have to work because I’m the breadwinner. On weekends he’s really brave about leaving our apartment and we love to go to the beach or the park. The problem is that he will never go to those places alone without me accompanying him. Sometimes I feel like his mother but I really don’t mind because I love him soooo much. On Sunday we were at the beach and I needed to use the restroom. It’s usually a fairly fast trip, go in sit down , take care of business and leave again. This time there were some females preening and carrying on and doing who knows what and they held everyone up. I had to wait in line and when I got back he was shaking and looked a mess. He practically jumped at me and started tearing up and said he was really worried about me. I asked him why didn’t he go over to the building with the restrooms and he said he didn’t feel like getting up. He feels safe driving to the market and to his bi weekly therapy appointments but will not go anywhere else Without Me.
He was sexually and physically abused by his step father from childhood through adolescence. I met him in the 9th grade and I wanted my parents to let him live with us because the physical and mental abuse was done openly. He recently disclosed the Horrors of the sexual abuse which no one knew about before. My parents refused for legal reasons to allow him to stay with us. When we both graduated from high school I decided that I was going to take him away from the horrors that we expreirnced and we immediately got married.
I was thinking instead of short walks could he meet me at McDonalds or Burger King which are about half way home from my work. I could call him when I am leaving work. I walk to work and home becasue my job is alow paying clerical job in a law firm and we try to save anyway we can. McDonald’s I believe has iced tea so it would not cost too much for him and I to buy drink there. Plus it would be fun to share a drink together like two love sick lovebirds lol lolo.
