Hey Folks. Been a while since I've posted. I've been taking care of me. My sufferer and I were able to get together again in October, this time at his place. Now that I'm partway through month four, I am getting to the point of being at peace with the isolation periods and not taking them personally.
Since my last post, he finally began to get help from the VA. He wbas on meds already, but the VA hadn't kicked in with full support yet. Now he has a team of Doctors he works with at the VA and he is hopeful that things will improve.
He has begun to open up to me about his anniversaries and has even given me specific dates of events. The Veterans at my IRL meetings have told me that is a huge step because most Combat Vets with PTSD are hesitant to share with civilians. I hope this means that he is realizing he can trust me.
The long distance situation is still very difficult, especially on his bad days. Mostly because I miss him a lot and not getting to hear from him every day (as one might in a non-PTSD relationship) is difficult. We continue to stand by each other and that is what matters.
Please pray for both of us as we continue on this journey. The long distance won't be forever as I will be moving there once my house sells (however long that may be). I believe that we will come together in God's perfect time for us. All I can do is pray and hope for the best.
