My hubby with PTSD not only works full time but does this in his own business which he owns and operates alone.

Not only that, but the business was set up (lock stock and barrell, including fit out, equipments, systerms, etc) only weeks after his trauma. There was a lot of help from me naturally, but the oither thing is that we did lots of it oursleve to save money.

At the time (until only a couple of weeks ago) I did not realise how remarkable this was for him. Unfortunatley all i could see were the piles of "mistakes" he made and let him know too. A few days ago I told him how amazing he was that he had achieved what he has and he cried.

Unfortunalty things are not going well for him at work. Since he is inavoidance mode and has moved out of our home, not wanting my help or input in the business, it has gone down hill quite badly. I am not even sure how badly as he does not want me involved.

He badly needs a good rest, but he commits to work he just can't do and then has to work crazy hours to get it done, and that's never on time anyway. So he is not able to take a break now or anytime soon that I am aware of. Plus, the bills have piled up beyond belief and they don't get paid if work isn't being done.

It's all quite a big bad mess right now. But like I keep saying, to hell with it, he is the most important thing, nothing else, not even the business. Although it would destroy him it if all fell in a heap I think.
