Default Denial? Confused About What This Is

I'm too full of questions.

My DH dances all around what happened to him. He drops hints about it, and makes brief comments about it. He's never come out and discussed it directly at any length. Other times, he will flat out deny having said anything, and he will flat out say that NOTHING ever happened. It seems to me that when he's most worked up and his PTSD symptoms are bad, that's when he seems to try to push that whole period of his life into non-existence - it just didn't happen at all! If I didn't know he had PTSD, I'd swear he was playing mind games with me, but I know that isn't it. It still leaves me feeling baffled.

Is this denial? Or what am I dealing with, if it isn't? It is very frustrating, and sometimes it makes me feel a little crazy, this changing life history, this history that is alternately partially acknowledged and then totally denied. It might help if I could understand what is going on a bit better.

Thanks,

Cowgirl
