Thanks Amethist.... I really appreciate this and hope life is treating you well.... To be honest I have only had 1 boyfriend before hubby and we have been together over 20 years so I really have no clue as to the 'protocol' or what to do!! I hope and pray as we all do that hubby will get...

Just wanted to wish you all the best Trembling..... I too feel that next time I know how to handle it better - and I try my best but its never how I think I am going to deal with it. Feeling scared and such an overwhelm feeling of sad and anger too. I dont know about medication - for you...

Thank you so much Toria - such meaningful words and words I need to read several times. I spoke to my counsellor today and I helped. She knows all about what we are going through although to be honest it sounded like she was happy for me in a way..... It all sounds so crazy I dont even know...

OMG thank you Anthony - I am choked to read your message..... I dont think I know what is normal anymore..... Hubby has just come back from the gym - he is putting on so much weight and has already had a heart attack (not even 40 at the time) His arms are sunburnt and he forgot and sat in...

Thank you Debbie for your honesty and reply - I do wish you all the very best and all the wonderful people on here. Hubby says he is doing all what he can to get better.... I have done the best I can over these years - we all know what the symptoms of PTSD are and what we endure. I am...

Thank you all so much for your wonderful words and as always I hope that others will fine them of use too. I have to stress that I have never looked at another guy in 20 years and did not go out with the intention either. I am doing what I can this end and have said to hubby that I need some...

Oh guys I need your help again….. To recap I have supported my hubby for 3 years with his PTSD and more… I do everything from look after the insurance case after the car accident, to the insurance, run the household, pay the bills, trying to do the best for our little boy – reading with him...

I wondered how fellow parents deal with kids and their PTSD sufferer? Our son is 6 and like other boys of his age is throwing tantrums - these are too stressful for hubby and he ends up flying off the handle and even saying things that I feel are wrong. I am going to speak with hubby and...

I just saw this and have also posted something about working... Great minds think alike! I have run my own business for 8 years and have never worked so hard. I feel that it is an option for PTSD sufferers however it is very stressful when clients mess you around/ dont pay/ delay things etc...

Hubby has said to me a few times to go out and have fun with some friends.... I run my own business and with that and all of the stuff going on with his PTSD and wanting to step up and do more with our son I just dont have the time!! I am trying to earn money to pay for everything too!! I do...

I just wondered how many PTSD suffers are still able to work.... I have held the fort for over 2 1/2 years and my hubbies 'job' if you like has been to get better as its been full time dealing with counselling and dotors to do with the injury from the hit and run car accident he was hurt in -...

HI Inthistogether and everyone I just wanted to say thank you to you Inthistogther for being honest and open about how you are feeling and can image that (sadly) as carers we have all felt this... I too feel so frustrated and want to scream and turn back time! I feel angry that this is in...

I too find Spring cleaning and cleaning theraputic and you feel better for detoxing your house too. Hubby seems to like this too and have something to focus on. Maybe when he tries and it (hopefully) it helps you both feel good he will be inspired to do more cleaning?? Sunshine :O)

I wanted to also say something to Thynker.... Maybe it was just our circumstances however I dont think that PTSD gets better over the years unless you gain support.... My hubby had a truama over 20 years ago when we had just met and he was just 18 For 10 years it wasnt part of our lives at...

Dear Onlyhim Some great words here and I hope that they have helped.... I wanted to add that for me coping I try to focus on something for me to help me deal with the nightmare of hubbies PTSD/ mood swings etc. I run my own business and enjoy sitting there focusing on some work - It helps...

Hi 20yrswife We share a lot from what I have read - so you are not alone. I too have been with my hubby for 20 years and we have 1 son - although he can be a trigger and can pish hubby over the edge. I wish I had some answers for you - well for us both..... Its great that you hubby is...

Well done Lemmingnot. Sending you love and hugs to be strong and I really hope that you can move forward. Despite my hubbys PTSD and the nightmare we find ourselves in I do not feel that he would be physically aggressive - This is a deal breaker and something that no one deserves.... It...

Hi there wonderful people Hubby said somethings that I am concerned by.... He doesnt like himself at all.... He feels that he is not getting better...... He then said that he doesnt own anything - The house is mine and so is the car... Over the years he hasnt been great with finances -...

Thank you amazing people.... I havent checked in for a while.... Hubby flew off of the handle over the weekend as we were having a Spring clean (He drives me mad shoving things in drawers, putting things in the wrong place/ room so I cant find anything - sounds silly but it is a nightmare)...
