Hi Max,

Welcome to the forum..

We supporters of those with PTSD travel a very rocky road filled with land mines and surprises all along the road. The sufferer has to "want" to be helped. It's common for them to "push" us away. Yet want us to be there to support and love them. My hubby (Ranger) has PTSD and he's been here on the forum for a couple of months. He is also getting help thru the VA (as he is disabled military). The sufferer has a wide range of major emotions that seem like they are on the worlds worst roller coaster out there. You never know what, when, where, why or how something can or will cause them to "trigger" or what happens when they do.

In some cases people split up, others go back & forth, some stay together.
We are families here. We try to support each other. Some people do have their families all on the forum. My hubby is on here, so is my daughter. We have told many others about this forum. Only today, we (my hubby & I) told my daughter's new boyfriend about this forum. He is x-military w/PTSD. So he may check this place out as well.

We all have felt this way at some time. It is more or less "normal" here!

Keep reading, getting opinions, learning, and maybe see if she will join the forum. There are areas for sufferers only & spouses only as well as general areas for everyone to share thoughts and feelings.

Most importantly is YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANY MORE..................

Take Care

D (wildcritter)
