Others have pointed out a need for a private place for each of you. I could not agree more. Togetherness is wonderful. But so too is time alone. It is important for anyone, whether or not they have PTSD.

If you can carve out a niche at home where you can work from home, and where you won't have to be in Anthony's space to do so, that is ideal. Few of us have the luxury of a place large enough for two offices. But would it be possible to set up separate areas? Two separate nooks? With the advent of laptops and wireless routers, almost any room or portion of a room can be your work space. That's what we do - use laptops. That way we can write or do work from home anywhere in the house, and we can be together or apart as we need. We also have our separate nooks for our hobbies.

My folks are older and have not moved into modern technology. They have two desks in their home, one for Dad, one for Mom. The desks are in different rooms, but those rooms are not "just" offices. One is in a room that is mostly an office but can be a guest room. The other is in a bedroom. That is very good, as each has a place to go to work, to write, etc.

Hope that is of some help.
