Hello,
Thank Goodness I found this site. I was starting to think that I was the only problem in our marriage...My husband a former Marine, was diagnosed w/ PTSD in 2004 soon after he came home from Iraq. I guess maybe I was deniel about my husbands condition or didn't try hard enough to educate myself about PTSD...when he would tell me he would seek treatment himself and fix it himself and did not want me to come to his counseling...Thats what i did... I guess I just have always done what he has told me to do. Now 2 years later, w/ a 1 year old baby. We are suffering the consiquences of not finding help for "BOTH of US" sooner. He hasn't had any treatment or seen anybody for his PTSD for over a year now. He is 70% disabled and I have'nt seen him happy for a really long time. Its hard for me to bring this subject up to him. I am scheduled to see a counseler tomorrow...but I am skeptical on how well these people can help us..I am so glad to know that this forum is here and I find myself relating to a lot of situations I read about here so thanks.:thumbs-up
