I’m looking for some advice please. This is an extremely sensitive subject and is also a TRIGGER for some, so please be kind.

I knew some things from my partners past but I didn’t know the full reality, until we both got very drunk this Friday night and I found him talking to me and telling me his feelings and about his past.

I feel sick and heartbroken. When he was a young child he was at the hand of sexual, mental and physical abuse from both his brother and one of his female family members. His dad and brother weren’t much help as they used to beat him up. I didn’t know how bad he was struggling until he confided in me and I don’t know how to comfort him, I really don’t. He has flashbacks, he wakes up with nightmares, I just want to make everything better, I love him so much and want to be with this man forever.

As a result to all this he has mental health problems such as severe anxiety, depression and a split personality. I knew he had this when we got together, but I didn’t know what had caused it. He’s so broken, he’s been so hurt, yet he’s the kindest and sweetest person I’ve ever met. I have BPD myself and can understand how he feels at time but I’ve no idea how to comfort him.
