I wish you the best Nic!
As a person on the carer side I just wanted to say that I would welcome as much information as the sufferer could give me. Even just a book or pamphlet on ptsd could be a start. I had no idea what ptsd was when I started dating my ex-BF. When he had a trigger and spiraled down I had no idea what was happening and probably did all of the wrong things. I tried to contact him a lot instead of just leaving him alone. His came on so suddenly that I didn't understand.
It would have been much easier to have understood ptsd and how it effects him. Just like your man would probably benefit from understanding how your ptsd effects you and what are some of your triggers. It will ultimately benefit you too!
Take care,
