I joined this site because I'd started dating a soldier suffering from PTSD. Hard to believe it's 3 years later and he's still in my life...though not always in the same role! But whatever happens, it's clear now that we will be friends for a long time. I'm humbled that he trusts me and views me as a constant, even amidst the turmoil. I think I'm a better friend (and whatever else) for understanding his condition. I also volunteer with wounded warriors, many of whom suffer PTSD. The forum is tremendously helpful to me in understanding how best to be supportive to the service members and the caretakers I meet in that capacity. Thanks to all for your words of wisdom.
