Thank you for the update Nonie, I am delighted to hear things are improving for you. I am most appreciative you are not offended by what I wrote; I was a bit concerned. I can be rather blunt at times, especially when under stress at home.

Support from other veterans or those currently serving would be very beneficial for your boyfriend, well done for recommending that to him. Unfortunately, in spite of efforts to improve, the attitude that PTSD is a weakness is still very pervasive in military culture. Once he returns from operations and depending on where he lives, many bases have PTSD support groups. He may wish to look into that as well. He is most definitely not alone.

Take good care Nonie, and keep us updated please.
