    I agree Nicolette. Hubby & I are coming up for 4yrs of PTSD in Oct. I know everyone's situation is different & sometimes the relationships work or crumble as a result of the illness. At the end of the day that is the one thing I have to remember is that this is an illness. It just makes it...

    Humphrey Starts His Journey / Pictures

    Hi everyone As pandora has the old bear at the moment it feel it is only fair that she decides where he can go next. Please remember that sending him off to the next person is not cheap so please "bear" that in mind. If it is cheaper to send him on to someone in Canada next I'm sure Humphrey...

    General The Guilt Of Having A Bad Day

    I'm also guilty of that too. I just try to be upfront to hubby about it & say just give me a bit of space or will get your head bitten off. I must admit I do try to go "quiet" but sometimes I think my silence speaks louder than my words. I do tell hubby it is not directed at him but I suppose...

    General Feeling Guilty About Feeling Resentful

    Hi Amethist I know what you mean, it does become draining at times. All I can offer is to see a doc & vent in a safe environment, get that ggggggrrrrrrr out! It's easier said than done but try & call a friend & just go out for a few hrs to blow off some steam, treat yourself & do something...

    How is Humphrey?

    Glad to hear he is safe & on the move with you pandora. I will let you decide who you would like to send him to next when you are up to it. Hi Mina, yes it's the same old bear, we thought it would be fun to send him off for a holiday & see the world & bring some cheer to people.

    About 90% of the stuff on Aussie tv or movies are from U.S.A or U.K so we don't get subtitles. I'm sure that there is some aussie slang that I don't even know, lol!

    PTSD And Boredom....Having A Purpose

    Hi Nicolette I've noticed now that Ayden is at school full time that hubby is able to set up a routine on his terms. I think having the power to plan his time to do what he wants around his appts has taken some extra stress off him. As he is now offically an artist in my eyes (he sold...

    Relationship The Price Of PTSD On Relationships

    Hmmm good food for thought! I know at times it is hard to find a balance for the support that you give & get. For me I think the best thing for me is to be honest with my hubby & tell him that I'm having a crap time. I tell him that I need to work on myself in order to regroup & get my crap...

    Nuggets V The Work Rehab "WANKER"

    I must add that considering hubby is suppose to be the one with "anger issues" after the appt with the Doc I was the one who wanted to come out swinging at the Doc. I was very proud of the way hubby handled the situation.
