I think this forum pretty much covers it already LT from how I see it, as there are some communities already online for veterans only, and quite honestly, from what I have seen, they actually are not actively helping those veterans and spouses with the problems of PTSD on return, because spouses get told to shutup by veterans, and veterans all hangout and chat military, none of which gets to the core of the problem.

I am more than happy if you just use this place as it exists now, as I believe it will do more good for veterans, ie. in mixed PTSD surroundings, thus it opens their eyes to the overall issue of PTSD, and strips them of self absorbtion over military related PTSD.

I have looked, and chatted on some boards that are military orientated only, and was far from impressed with the overall responses that where given, ie. chat oriented back to military tactics "get over it" "have another beer" etc etc... all of which do not help a veteran and partner if they want to actually get better, not worse.

I think a possible solution would be to make something similar to what I have here for those with PTSD, which is a hidden forum for only those who suffer PTSD. I could do the same for spouses only, so their partners cannot see what is being discussed with other spouses, ie. giving them a bit more confidentiality to open up to other spouses. It works for those with PTSD, and just might work for spouses also.

If your happy to run such a forum, then I can create it here, and you moderate it as per my recent post on becoming a moderater here. Spouses are then added to the forum as they indicate themselves within the public spouse forum, the same as what occurs with those who have PTSD. You can then direct spouses to this forum, contact me if you know them personally through PVA, and they can be added into the group to see and post within that forum.
