I went to a group meeting with my bf today. It was informative, yet not intense as the things we are going through at home. It's a twelve week program and it's on a schedule to talk about different ideas on how to handle their situation.

I am a bit calmer than the last few days since the big blow outs have blown over for now. That's the way it is around here; up and down and round and round like a merry-go-round.

I was grateful to even be in the room with them today during their PTSD meeting, but I think that if I'm there with him on a one on one, we can share our personal experiences. Today, the group leader stated that they only hold the class for actual PTSD patients, but since I was in my military uniform, she let me sit in on the class. The information that was put out is something I can use myself when I have the anxiety coming on and the stress level rising.

From what I understand, there is no support group for family members or carers. The only information is the paper documents my bf bring home to read; without further understanding of how the brain and emotions work, I'm still lost.

I will continue to seek out other avenues to grasp this concept and to accept this reality. This is real, more real than the nose on my face.

Keep us in your thoughts.
