Oh, kacee, that is so sad. Ugh. I'm going through this with my sufferer now. I just said to him today that we have a basic communication problem, and he totally agreed. It hurts because I want him to try just a hair harder but it seems sometimes that the emotions he is most comfortable with when he talks to me lately are fear, anger, shame, and pain. Anything else is so hard for him, especially when it comes to reaching out and saying what he really means. It's only just begun to hit me how much of his ptsd is fear. Though he reacts in anger, it really is an awful panic caused by fear. Sometimes I'm not really very good with words, either, and sometimes I think we want them to reach out but they just can't. Will it help if you leave him a card or a note with maybe a light hearted message that still gets across that you love him? It sounds like he's thinking about it. And yes, it is so true. Funny, my Sufferer just watched a documentary about WWII that said the same. I wonder if it's a series or something.
