Welcome Waggy
Welcome! My hubby is a Gulf vet & has PTSD. Some days are good, Some days are not so good. Some days are just plain HELL!
My hubby is on meds. He doesn't like it, but is staying on them. This is helping.
:crybaby:This is difficult to say... The man you loved and watched go to war, came back changed forever. Good, bad, or indifferent, but difinitely changed. Just like you are different, you're a mom now. Neither of you can go back.
I have heard many stories about spouses not able to cope living with their
spouses or families upon return. The things they have see and/or had to do to survive leaves them with many feelings: "I'm unloveable" or "I don't deserve to be loved" or "I am afraid I might hurt you --accidently" or and the list goes on.
As you will learn here unfortunately for all of us especially those with the PTSD there is no "quick fix." I truly wish I could say or do something anything that would help you.
Here you can write whatever, vent, ask questions, get info, etc.
Single most important thing I can think of is: YOU ARE NOT ALONE !
I know that doesn't help you much. If you would like to talk feel free to PM (private message) me. If you haven't learned about it check top box next to log in/log out it's user cp.
Take Care
