Afghanistan, jimmy. We were in Bagram, Abad, Jbad, Nangalam, Ghazni and did some QRF stuff in Kabul.

Hey Stooty, I am on my third marriage, the first one, well she was just a #*$*$&@^!%!, played around. The second one was a result of undiagnosed PTSD. I had six kids living with me at the time, not all mine, but they all call me dad.
Well, I was with them for 13 years and I almost destroyed them, some of them still have psych problems which I blame on myself, but in all, I had to fess up and give them my soul, explain what PTSD is, and try my hardest. They always check on me now, except the teenagers, you could be lying on the floor with blood everywhere and they would come up and ask for money. true.

Anyway mate, if your kids are old enough, get them to watch this video, also get your other half too, it will explain a heap.

I'll check it out, man. My wife (second wife, first one filed for divorce because I'm "not the man she married"... Really? No shit) but anyway, my current wife is amazing. She has put up with more bs than any woman should from me. I treat her right, but it's my crazy side that indirectly treats her like shit. It's not fair to her, but she's told me she's standing by me. Special place in heaven for her.

Welcome brother. Stay safe, stay strong.

I am hearing you mate. I don't blame any woman who refuses to live with PTSD, but they could go about it differently.

My current wife is just the best.

Guys, my wife is just outstanding also. The thing about my wife is she didn't know me before i went to war. She's only known me with the beast. I sat her down when we first got together, and explained the why of it all. And I had her watch "Restrepo", and "Armadillo", just to show her where this beast originated for us. She gets it. Glad some of us have that type of support, i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. This is my fourth marriage by the way. I was lucky to have found a woman that has the guts to take me and my beast on.

I just hope one day she doesn't have enough and leave.

Welcome Stooty, and crossing fingers for ya. That fear people dearest will just get up and leave after one too many drops is so insidious, innit. I guess there's only so much one can do, any relationship, some just can't be saved and it's to none parties fault. But as I said, crossing fingers for you, it ain't sound you'd be that kind of guy where leavin's the better or only option.
