I love this Nicolette!! So beautiful. So heartfelt. And so very true from my perspective as well. Thank you so much for posting this.

My guy has road rage - not the totally scary type, but while driving he likes to point out the bad driving skills and cuss out the other drivers. I started laughing at him one day about it and it sort of turned into a joke- so now its a stress releiver for him that has become an inside joke for...

Feeling some doubt today....my guy has a lot on his plate right now - a lot of good stuff, but the stress is still stress. He is following through with his normal behavior, but he is not totally present. He seems distracted when we are together or talking. I have said, you seem distracted and...

I keep coming back and reading your post - I want to have a great response for you, but I just don't have one. Hopefully someone else will have a solution. I know there are carers on here that also have PTSD. Maybe they will have advice that worked for them. I just wanted you to know I'm...

My heart goes out to you. This is a tough situation - I would say that it is imperative that he either keep his appointment with this therapist or find a new one he likes better. The "I don't have the time" won't fly anymore - managing his PTSD should be a priority for him. You are enabling...

Welcome wingless dragonfly, I'm sorry that you and your children are going through this with your husband. Because he has un-managed PTSD, you have to take measures to protect yourself and your children. Nothing he does or says right now will make sense to you because his PTSD is in control of...

Sorry PW - I chuckled when I visualised you finding him asleep on the doorstep 5 hours later. :roflmao: We have had conversations about drinking - I am a socail drinker but I can go days and/or weeks without any alcohol at all and be fine. He doesn't appear to "need" to drink - he just likes...

My guy doesn't get drunk every day - however he has at least 2-3 beers every day. Not a day goes by without it and his house is always stocked with beer. There are times he drinks more, but mostly he has just those 2-3 beers. I notice it, not sure if I should worry about it and I'm not sure...

It wasn't too long ago that I FINALLY learned that valuable lesson. I am extremely non-judgmental ~ and I used to be pretty open with all of my friends. Because my viewpoint is one of non-judgement, I shared way too much with my mom and my friends. THen when I did get judged, I got my...

GREAT metaphor laa 100!! I LOVE it!!

Hi step2, First question ~ is he on meds or in therapy for his PTSD? Even with PTSD, abuse is never acceptable - and that is what you are getting right now. Abuse. Sorry to put it so bluntly. :( I am sort of scared for you and your kids. I don't have any good advice for you but to...

I think what you said and how you handled it was amazing. You didn't berate him, you made him understand your viewpoint AND he got it! PERFECT!! Sometimes you have to follow your gut and do what you think is best - even though the advice may be coming from a professional. You know your...

I have found there are certain things that it is okay to talk about in the future - kids sports schedules for the upcoming weekend, trip to visit his family this summer, doctor appointments or anything that specifically pertains to him or his interest. I can talk about a trip I want to take...

I am on board - although I'll have to do some math so I get the time right since I'll be sending my positive thoughts from the U.S. :D
