Hi Anthony your information package is very good and explains a lot.
One thing that I as a spouse would like to understand more is what is going on in hubbys head ( I will use him as an example).I understand over time trauma is eating away at him bit by bit and weakens his mental capabilities but what does he see? I hope this isnt confusing to you!
When he is laying in bed while his wife goes to work is his mind thinking gee I should be getting out of bed and doing something ( which is what I would do) or is his mind completely somewhere else.
When he asks my opinion on a simple decision, as his confidence and self esteem is rock bottom is it to check on himself, in the Army 25 years getting to Warrant Officer it still surprises me about this one.
One thing I often think about what is going through his head is it a blur is his mind racing all over the place?
Is it a feeling you get when you are pissed (tiddly) like a numbness? I find myself sitting there looking at him when he doesnt know thinking what is going on in your head now?
I told Hubby about your information he seemed interested so hoping he may read it.
Thanks Jen!
