I did not realize the 27th was National PTSD Awareness Day - it's so sad to know the media did not make mention of it.<br /><br />As a wife of a combat PTSD sufferer (he's still Active Duty and struggles almost every day) I have felt so very alone in this journey. You have opened my eyes to a whole world of spouses and significant others that suffer the effects of someone who came home and was just not the same. Thanks for encouraging those of us who still feel concerned about "airing our dirty laundry" to do so in a public venue but do so anonymously!<br /><br />I wish you the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084876361608306937.post-46709262762291248242011-07-08T17:30:08.547-07:002011-07-08T17:30:08.547-07:00The new look is great USM!

It has been hell and everything mixed together (PTSD, depression and alcoholism) led to the demise of our marriage.<br /><br />He's still on the earth and I am grateful, but there are times my heart skips a beat when I don't hear from him or I stop at the house (we are still friends) and he doesn't answer the door right away.<br /><br />He refuses to go back to counseling or go back on his meds. He prefers to drink himself silly almost every day after work.<br /><br />All the way around, IT SUCKS!Peppermint Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135826412904028895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084876361608306937.post-28237236773528127872011-06-27T07:12:40.756-07:002011-06-27T07:12:40.756-07:00AWESOME post!
