Part of the symptomology of PTSD is the victim of PTSD goes through cycles. When the victim of PTSD is in the cycle of feeling they are overcoming, part of their mentality is that they do not need anybody, they can feel that they do not even have PTSD, they are in denial, they can attack any...

You need to take control of the money. Do not think that you are being unreasonable. With your wife having these traits, do not believe you are acting in a controlling way, you are simply being wise. For example, if your wife continues to overspend on clothing, guess who she will blame for...

You need to take control of the money.

I would love to be there taking care of my grandsons. We live in TN. My grandson is in the hospital in CA. I do not have the luxury of being able to take a leave of absence from my work.

There is a lot to going for a walk, a long walk, or jog or run. Walking does relieve stress. Exercise also helps so much. The lyrics of the song by the Eagles "Well, I'm running down the road, Tryin' to loosen my load ..." Do I ever understand these lyrics now! Also, running to get away...

This passage is from verses in context from my verse for today. Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for...

It seems to me that a common thread that individuals with PTSD share, is that it is common for PTSD sufferers to project anger outward. Am I correct in my assumption? Maybe the way my wife copes with her PTSD, is for her to constantly blame me for anything that is not perfect. Again, what do...

Hope and praying that you and your wife are better!

Everyone is up tight. Our grandson had another MRI and the results came back unchanged. This is +/- because, although he is not getting worse, the antibiotics are also not improving his condition.

The conflict that errupted was that I asked my son to get a baby sitter for his two sons or take his two sons with him and our daughter-in-law as they were within 5 blocks of their home and their sons, because my daughter-in-law also needed a break from the hospital and she was getting her...

For the last week, my wife has been with the two of our grandchildren that our second son and daughter-in-law have, while our daughter-in-law is staying in the hospital with their third son. My wife (with PTSD), is watching our two grandsons, non-stop, for the last week. Today, my wife asked...

There are so many similarities in our lives. I never cease being amazed at how our situations are so reflective. Most of the time when I respond to you, I find myself being convicted, encouraged and challenged by the words rebounding back to me. My wife has separated from me three times in...

nevergiveup, I pray you are able to follow through with your plan of moving back to be with your wife and daughter. As your title implies, I hope that you can continue on your life journey to nevergiveup. Grace is a wonderful thing. I pray that someday we both will be able to receive grace...

My wife and I are texting and talking again, this is amazing!
