I am new as well, and although I do not suffer from PTSD, my husband/best friend is struggling immensely . The soul purpose I joined this forum was in hopes to listen to the stories of other soldiers, because he is reluctant to open up to. I am trying to figure out what is going on in his head, because he is not ready to tell me. And I am not going to force him. He served 2 tours in Iraq (15 months and 12 months) within the 5 years we have been married. Only recently did he admit to what he has been going through for years..
