I am in my 30's and wish I could say I am happily married. But for now all I can say is that I am married to a sufferer of PTSD.
We are working to blend our families that include 4 kids. He cannot work a lot because of PTSD outside the home. It makes me happy that he is at home, not dealing with the craziness of a work environment and commute. I work FT and am glad for the break from the emotional roller coaster of my home life. I hate to be reminded by anyone of my new last name (the recent nuptualls) and hate when they ask how are the newly weds. I want to cringe and scream all at the same time.
The medication side affects are taking a toll on our relationship. Currently he sleeps a lot on the couch but is maintaining some household chores. When he isn't on medicines he is quiet and on high alert also a little paranoid. That is easier to deal with than the mood swings and constant defensivness. He waste our limited funds on booze and continually cuts me off. I am feeling a bit stifled like Edith on the Bunkers (HA~HA)
I think I have a form of PTSD due to my difficult child hood. I am astrainged from my immediate family and have been so, off and on for some time. Currently it has been over a year since we have had any communication. There is no way I could deal with them and their drama as well as the stress of my marriage at the same time. Not to down play my feelings but it isn't a big loss.
I am concerned about the strain on my health, the emotional challenges we place on our kids, and my poor decision making... I knew he wasn't well and I still married him.
