Hello Everyone!!!

[Kaylee Ann]

Hi, my name is Kaylee!!! I am a 35 year old mother of 5 children. I am just recently married to a military man, we have been married for 9 months. He is in the military and has experienced 3 deployments. We have known each other since high school and kept in touch the whole time that he has been in the military pretty much. He has been in the military going on 17 yrs. He was diagnosed with ptsd about 6 years ago and just recently was diagnosed with tbi from I think it was his second deployment. I was confused with how the army missed that one.

I just wanted to meet someother women who possibly go thru the same things that I might be going thru with how my husband yells at me, says little remarks under his breath to start a fight, threatens me, confines me in a tight space, and text msgs me continually throughout the day not once or twice on a good day its about 200 times a bad day could be up to 500+ times a day and if I dont respond to them in a timely manner he gets upset.

He is on meds and just recently started to get help for everything, but I see no change. The only change that I see is he doesnt yell at me in front of the children. So I can definitely say our carpet color is eggshell in our house, cause I have to always walk on eggshells when he is around. I just thought this would be nice to talk to other people who go thru this too. I have already gotten his station commander involved along with all the other doctors he is seeing, cause somebody can only take so much.

Hi Kaylee,

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time right now.

There's loads of information here about PTSD, and if you head over to the supporters area, you will find many others who are going through similar with their loved ones. I'm sure you will find support here.

Regards
CB

Hi, Kaylee!
Welcome to the Forum! Wow, 5 kids! That's a lot to take care of along with a controlling man. I went through 4 marriages before I figured out that I was the common denominator, so to prevent another divorce, I won't remarry.

I had a low tolerance for being treated like crap. I hope that you will not endure this for a long time. You deserve to be treated well, and if help isn't working, you'll have to do what is best for your children in the long run. They need to see their mommy being treated well! I wish you the best of luck!

Blessings to you,
AKJ
