Relationship Marriage, Ptsd And Children. The Struggles Of A Wife Of A Non Combat Veteran :( Bad Days Suck Ass

[HurtinginMI]

Having a bad day when it always seems as everything I do is wrong. I'm the reason he's mad and him having a PTSD anger moment in front of children. Just hoping someone is on to help me with living with PTSD.

I have PTSD, so I can only imagine it from your end. I am endlessly grateful for having an understanding partner (even if he doesn't always actually understand what the hell is going on with me. To be fair, there are plenty of moments when I don't know what's going on with me). *hugs* It's not your fault. And to the best of a parent's ability, outbursts shouldn't be in front of kids (again, not your fault).

My husband is also a vet - Military Police/Iraq, is now a police officer. I can relate to your situation. It's not your fault, It's the PTSD. I have to remind myself that all the time. My husband has been triggered the last 2 weeks, I get complete isolation from him. No love..nothing. It sucks! Hang in there, in time I hope his episodes deminish and you get your husband back.

I know all to well how you feel. I wish I could tell you some great words of wisdom but I am searching for some too. Many of us have been in your shoes and unfortunately outburst will happen in front of the kids because they don't realize how it affects them or at least not at the moment. I hope it gets better for you soon!
