My wife moved out as a result of my PTSD. I'm not certain that it was from being numb that caused me to be blind to the pain she was feeling. I think it's more like that signal was being drowned out by the noise of my own pain. I can see where I've pushed and pulled and pushed and pulled. No wonder she had to get out. I wish more than anything that we could remain close while I learn to cope, but I guess it is passed that.
