Hey! Sorry Tex! I still check in about once a day! Have not been posting much... I finally took my ex down off the pedestal I had him on. He's just another screwed up dude that I loved. His loss because I am looking forward to bigger and better things. :) Good luck to him on the rest of his journey, may he seek help & find some peace.

Wife of! Sorry to hijack hun! ((hugs)) So glad to hear hubby is home now! I know you are so relieved and I hope all is going well with him. Keep us up to date.

Wife of, so glad to hear one of my brother in arms getting it sorted out!!! I hope he wasn't like me I came out twenty pounds heavier. The constant monitoring of my diet I wanted out so I ate every meal all of it so the staff would see how I was doing better. That is a lot of weight for five weeks none of my pants fit anymore.

It was wierd I wanted out real bad but when it came time to get out I was scared. My thinking was not the same anymore I wasn't as strong as I thought. It is amazing how much I changed in a controlled setting with the amount of therapy that I wasn't even getting in a year or even now. I had 25 indevidual sessions and multiple classes in five weeks.

That is why I think that when people are at there wittends with combat PTSD they should take this option and drop the stigma. After hearing all the stuff your man went through before going in and the time at the beggining and my experiences with hospitalization I hope that people when thier really down will give it a go.

It is just really nice to hear of a success even minumal ones when It is someone fighting combat PTSD it gives a little hope for the ones who haven't took a step forward. TEX

"wife of", I am so happy for you. I am glad he was able to come home. That is a big step for sure. My DH finally is getting is chance to have a full weekend at home, two whole nights at home with me and the kids. Crossing fingers and Toes that it goes well. I am glad he did well in the public settings sometimes I think that is harder for my dh than just coming home. :)

 

[wife of]

Hope its a goodun adeline.X

 

[willis williams]

Yah, hope it is good to. I was disorintated for a week or more when I got. I didn't get any weekend passes. I often wonder if I would have if I would have bugged and not went back. Pulled the I'm tuff routine. I didn't get a chance so I guess it doesn't matter. But I definately hope it is a really good weekend and being with his family reenforces the good in the reason why he's doing it.
