New Here
I am divorced after 23 years of marriage to an alcoholic and have recently started dating my high school "sweetheart"/first love again. He has been married multiple times and suffers from PTSD. I am trying to learn all I can to help me deal with the issues that have come up (ie lack of trust, depression, thinking I'll leave like all previous women have, not showing much affection, etc) I am committed to making this relationship work but I definitely need help! I can't help but feel discouraged at times.
 
@Mary68 Welcome to the forum!

PTSD is tough on relationships and there is a great section for Supporters on this site. Probably the most important thing is to take care of yourself and to stay as healthy as you can. You can't "fix" him but you can encourage him, but ultimately the work on healing is entirely up to him.
