I'm glad to hear your in counseling for secondary. That should be a number one priority for you.

A word of caution: I do know that when someone tries to relate to me using, well I have Secondary PTSD, as the basis for understanding, it doesn't go over too well. Although both are serious, it's not the same. Us PTSD'ers tend to isolate and group according to our PTSD. Secondary does not cut it in our minds. When unhealed, or just not far enough in the healing process, someone attempting to relate to us using this can trigger massive anger and rage. Although each of us are different in how we handle or don't handle our PTSD, it might be good to track your hubby's reactions to this and see whether or not it just isolates or enrages him, or it actually helps open up the communication further.

Remember, focus on your healing!!! Very very important.
