General My Combat Vet Is Now In Denial And Won't Seek Help...?

Reject: That was helpful, not harsh at all. :)

I worry about him wanting to immediately get into SF so quickly after returning from this last deployment. It makes me really nervous, actually.
 
My husband told me nothing about his deployments either. He just kept on sticking his hand up to go on more as it was easier than trying to adjust to life back home. He has been diagnosed with adjustment disorder as well. His last deployment was to Iraq, he crashed big time and I went to army welfare and he came home early. I was terrified what he would do to himself so far from home with a loaded a weapon. His calls home scared me so much and he was so far away with people who really didn't know him that well to see that he was in trouble. I have paid the price ever since. He has not trusted me and done so much to punish me ever since. My therapist once asked me if I could go back now and make a different decision would I, my answer at the time was "no, of course not", but now I really don't know.

Everyone says don't take his actions personally, but I struggle everyday with that. I know he resents the fact that it is all on his military record, he would rather have kept it hidden. He will do anything now to not have to face it.
 
All of these stories about men in the military sound so awful. I know how it is,I work with primarily men and they all make jokes about PTSD. Most of the people that joke about it are the ones that I know have been through ied and mortar attacks. I have only been deployed once and I had a really good deployment. I do know way too many people though that refuse to get help. Im not really sure what my point is but as a sufferrer from PTSD (from prior military experiences) I just wish i could raise awareness to military members.
