sorry it's taken so long to post but things have been busy around here, much like everyone else I'm sure. H's appointment went well, I'm guessing. He went alone & seemed to be looking forward to it. He hasn't said much about what went on but that's fine with me. He has been in much better spirits since that day. We've got a couple's appointment on the 19th. It sounds like the therapist would like to do treatments with just H and then separate ones with both of us. I think I like that idea. Seems to me it would keep me in the loop in regards to progress and I think it'll help him stop compartmentalizing the PTSD ("it's my problem and doesn't effect the marriage").

I did get some bad news this last week though...looks like he'll be going on another deployment sometime in the next 8 months. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll have some good coping skills under his belt before then. Trying to stay positive :)
