Welcome to the forum, lovely to have you. Well done for asking the opinion of the sufferers, I have always found their advice very useful. Do check out the Carers sections as well however; you are most welcome there always. Oh, and I will answer you myself later on, I simply haven't the time at the moment however I did wish to welcome you.

Doug, upon this forum we do not make distinctions regarding how people have acquired PTSD, so you will never see a category or group specifically for spouses of veterans. You may have noticed that upon this forum, there are no categories for different types of trauma, i.e., combat, rape, and so on. There is an important reason for this. To use myself as an example, I have derived just as much support and understanding from non-military individuals as I have from those with military experience. When it boils down to it, it matters not how we or our loved ones acquired PTSD.
