Default Wife to a Soldier With PTSD - Scared & Confused

I don't know what to do...6 mths since he has been home and things don't seem to be getting better. We were best friends when he left, and while he was gone. We lost a good friend while he was there! I know that was hard, I was the first person the wife called when she found out..I was at her house within 3 minutes barefoot and all.

Well anyways...my name is Carmen
my husband has the classic symptoms of PTSD but I am not quite sure if their has been a diagnosis yet...he is just now getting treatment and will be ETSing soon (getting out)..I am scared for him and SAd for him. He doesn't seem to enjoy life anymore. Not even our three beautiful children. We will be moving back home and I am scared it will only worsen when we get their. With the lack of support of people that know what he is going through. What scared me the most is that he doesn't hardly talk to me, he just tells me he is numb, no feelings. What can I do??????? I have to admit my patience are thin, I feel resent and anger because I did it all for 12 months by myself three kids a dog, a house, and all, when he came he just doesnt seem to want to get off bed or away from the TV. Please somebody are their any spouses out their of war veterans with PTSD????
