I think your wife needs to gain some knowledge on how to deal with a sufferer of someone with Ptsd , it's probably not easy for her to fully understand how your feeling, therefore it's easier for her to lash out at you, she's probably finding it very difficult too. Suicide is not the answer...

It's really easy to let feelings and emotions get the better of us because that's what humans do , then we become very sensitive and expect everyone to understand why and how we feel the way we do, but the crux of the problem is we find it difficult to be open and honest about how feeling so we...
