Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 My wife called this morning. She has been hard to reach, I talk to her at most once a week. For background, she has been away for 6 months and will be coming back January 2. Also for background, I suffer from BIID (Body Integrity Identity Disorder, the wish or obsession to become an amputee). We are both a little edgy about what happens when she gets back. She said that she will not accept my being abusive. I said, " Wait a minute, in what way have I been abusive " ? She said that sometimes I tell her she is making my BIID worse, making me want my leg off, and it is abusive to tell her that. I do not tell her that to manipulate. I only say that when it is true, and I am desperate. I only say it after I have asked her several times to stop what she is doing that triggers the BIID, and she has refused. She said it was my fault because I didn't tell her about the BIID before we were married. I am ashamed about that, but I really thought I could control it. Maybe I could have if she didn't do so many things that trigger it. Then she started going into the past looking for everything I have ever done wrong. I hung up the phone. It is the first time I hung up on her. I don't know how she will react. I am very worried about what happens when she comes back. I wanted my leg off really badly after the phone call. - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
