Default Welcome

Andrea,

Hi and Welcome to the forum.

I am a spouse of a disabled Army vet. He has PTSD.

It is not a fun roller coaster ride for any of us. The sufferer has the very hardest time. My hubby was a airborne Ranger.
They are a very proud group. As they should be.. They worked very hard to get through the schools. Please tell your husband, that I said "Thank You for his service."
They had a very difficult job to do and saw things no one should have to see, hear, smell,feel, etc. They were trained nearly to the death...to be a soldier to kill people.

But -- they were not re-trained to come home to their families. They were not trained on how to deal with the "after affects" of what they went through.

I am very glad to hear your hubby is getting the assistance he needs and this helps you both.

We are also jumping through the hoops of the VA trying to get 100% for my husband and SS.

Hugs to you both, I wish you all well.

Hang in there.. PM me if you want.

Donna
