My husband is in the infantry and is currently deployed for the 3rd time. He suffered some symptoms after his 1st deployment, but they seemed to fade over time (minus the nightmares). After his 2nd deployment things were terrible. Our relationship suffered from it, his job suffered and mostly he suffered. He barely slept, horrible nightmares, cut himself off from my daughter and I. After the cops were called on him for screaming at me I finally convinced him to seek counseling and be diagnosed with it. I feel like no one was listening to me even though I even went in and personally spoke with his counselor about my concerns. Everything just kept escalating. I know he's suffering and it was like no one was willing to help or fight for him. He deployed again and now that he's over there its not going well. Long story short they've taken his weapon and he must be escorted every where. His counselor advised he not deploy. His CO went against that so the counselor said at the very least he needed to continue therapy over there. The CO responded with I'm not sure those resources will be there and if they are not sure if he'll have time. Then why the hell was he deployed?? He's asked to come home to finish his treatment here. Of course that was denied, but he isn't getting the help he needs over there. I want him to get better. I want my husband back not this empty shell of him. I'm in talks with his counselor right now, but I'm not sure what steps I need to take to make sure he's getting the help he needs. Does anyone know what I need to do to get him home and back into the treatment he needs?
