Supporter My Husband Is A Vietnam Vet....

[J's caretaker]

J's PTSD has gotten worse through the years and we are learning together how to mange coping skills and make his life as 'normal' as possible. We both have good and bad days and we work to try to be honest with each other so that problems get dealt with as soon as possible.

I wanted to be on this site as I feel I need to know there are others out there that are doing the best that the can. At many times I think 'Secondary PTSD" applies to me. We are retired now and I take J out every afternoon for 'tea' so that he stays used to being in public. He doesn't drive anymore and he is only comfortable at 3 restaurants in the area but at least he is getting out daily.

I enjoying going out too as I read my newest book or play on my Kindle. For the most part, I think we have made some good adjustments to make a good life for J.

Welcome Caretaker. LOL Love the name.

I would just like to take this oppotunity to say thank you.

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to help Your Vet.

If J isn`t allready, you could get him to go to the sister site that is for Vets with PTSD.

We are all Vets on the site, from conflicts as far back as Vietnam right up to today, from the US, Aussie, Canuck and Brit Military with a few others thrown in for taste.

Hope you find what you are looking for on here, and hope to see J on our site.
