Hello everybody,
My husband has been suffering from PTSD for a while. I just want do everything I can to help him. I'm learning that that sometimes means just standing by and not doing anything in his space. That's hard. Sometimes it's the hardest part.
He's my superman. He's my life. It breaks me to see him hurting and struggling from something I can't do anything about.
I thought I could just be strong and patient. I realized that I can't be enough for him.
I am scared. I am not good at being scared.
I'm that woman that has all her shit together and gets the job done. And now I don't even know what my job is anymore as his wife. Something I used to be able to do effortlessly. It was so easy and natural to provide and support him before. Now I'm at a loss and anxious that I'm doing everything wrong.
I'm that woman that everybody else turns to for help. I suck at reaching out for it in return.
So here I am.
I am hoping to learn how to deal with all of this better. For both our sakes.
Thank you for reading.
