We are moving as well, and we are being very mindful that the last several months when we've been living apart (and spending nights in the same place once or twice a week) has been very helpful for him in managing his PTSD. Not that we WANT to live apart - but realistically he is going to need someplace apart from daughter and I to go when he gets overwhelmed, we are calling this place for the future "The Man Cave." It needs to be self contained - with a bathroom and someplace to sleep, and far enough from us that he can be "out of the energy field" which seems to mean we can't hear him. It is a bit tricky to work out... but our aim is to maintain a way for him to escape when he is going into an episode. It's mostly us he is rotten to - although the big black cloud that hovers over his head at such times does tend to unnerve people in general.... Slow transition with lots of time to figure out how to manage triggers and daily stressors is a super good idea in my view:tup:
