Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I'm wondering how many digger's wives and/or children/grandchildren visit this forum? I have lots of questions about how Vietnam affected relationships over the past 40 years to now. Please respond.

I dated/lived with a man for 7 yrs that was in Vietnam. He had PTSD, refused treatment. ( I did't know at the time I too had PTSD) It was a hard relationship. He has lived in denial for most of his adult life. Fled to Germany after the war, never told his family where he was for 20 yrs, till he came back, we met and I forced him to call his family.

The relationship ended 15 yrs ago, we remained friends until a yr ago. I ended it. He has become so mean, hateful, angry, and argumentative that walking away was the only choice I had. I miss the person I knew that he could be, but hated the person that he was...
