It is at home but will update the post once I have it in hand. What you saying make sense somewhat.

I saw a document on the "Grounding Technique" that was given to my sufferer to use. I read through it and I am not sure if because I am not at the stages of understanding that ,is why it didn't make sense to me. It made me feel like they are teaching him how to disassociate from the reality...

Welcome... I hope this is a good outlet and a help to you. Sorry you have had such a difficult time outside the military life.

I agree it can be and she may or may not be able to push forward. This for me wasn't an incident that warranted my response and I felt he is fishing for a response. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getting a rise. I have feelings and can admit to blowing back up and nothing good...

Hi Toria I get that a lot. They seem to need to test to see if you will still be there for them no matter their behavior. I am not sure I would bring it up since I know how bad that can turn out. Just be grateful he seems to be over his mood and push forward...easier said than done!

I think they are well meaning and agree they nor I know what to say. I have been saying "Yes, my husband is sick and I am at work trying to get some distance mentally from that situation and that it is home life and not up for discussion at work". I will try "thank you for trying to help but...

Have you all tried the "Zzz quil" product it is supposed to be a sleep aide as well... just a thought. It seems like so many cures are not good for us.

I was thinking the same way about my situation. When it is good it is really good but when it is bad it is bad. Hope things work out for you and you all are able to move your family forward together.

I am clearly having a hard time with my home life. Apparently it is written all over my face at work. I am doing my best...hell I am here. Besides I am weeks into the marriage although upset and very hurt I am not ready to walk away. I have been pulled aside by a single HR person asked if I...

I agree he is on the sites for the escape and I fear my sufferer will turn to that some day. We are newly weds and have 4 kids total from previous relationships. I say that to say I know it is hard to handle and I would not encourage my own child to make the same decision I have. But the heart...

WoW you are in denial...he is on a sinking ship taking you down with him. Perhaps you should read your post and think to yourself what you would say to your closest loved one if they were in this same situation! You take your vows serious but he does not and you both can admit to that. You...

Seek some counseling. Try to understand your situation better. Read up about ways to ease into getting out and travelling. Communicate with your boyfriend and include him on your therapy.

I hate to tell you but it won't get any easier and unless you are strong enough to deal with the roller coaster ride then you should get off of the ride now. The ones with PTSD are damaged goods and you will have many hurtful times ahead. Since you are not married to him take a step back...

Good point Solara... Investigate other medications and even some natural methods that may work too. Example: Melatonin can be found in the herbal section bout $6.

True ...Thanks! I just needed to express the need for balance in the advise column. Some of the post seemed to make it seem like he was a horrible guy for finally loosing his patience. I am not saying it was right but lets not put him in the damaged pile marked NO REPAIR possible. It is...
