Sarah Palin for VP? - Many are cheering for another woman taking center stage, and many are worried that this is a woman who's been promoted for the wrong reasons and is going to be blamed when things don't go right.
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
Sometimes I feel completely alone and he is home. I met him after his 2 tours to Iraq and when I knew he had PTSD. Its just really hard to deal with and I feel like no matter how much help he is getting nothing is changing. I was hoping that the depression would go away after his PTSD was more manageable but it doesnt seem so. I sometimes wonder how much of the way he acts sometimes is from the PTSD or how much of the insanity is something he did before the PTSD.

But you knew he had PTSD! Why even get yourself involved in that situation?
OP you should read up on it and see ways to cope with loves ones who have it, ignore the PP she seems like those bitches who have to make others feel bad for being in a situation and tell you not to bitch when you know she bitches about everything in her life! ....but yea read up on it and look up coping habits and such and im sure you will find a better way to work with it! you have to give it an effort first before giving up and i know your not giving up!! good luck!
It's wonderful that you're supporting your husband, but you need support too. Please consider seeking counseling for yourself as well. When there is a mental health disorder in a relationship, both partners need help in coping with it. Best of luck to you and your husband.
I agree with comment number one, why in the world would you get involved with someone that clearly can not be for you waht you need. Did you really think he was just going to be all better in an instant. You put yourself into thsi situation so now you need to either figure out how to deal with this or leave if you cant.
PTSD ruins marriages on a daily basis! Why would you even think about beginning a marriage on those terms?
So people with PTSD dont deserve love?? Maybe he needs someone strong to help him through hard times.
My friend's husband has PTSD to the point where it affects his memory. Still, she does NOT let her husband disrespect her in any way, and her husband agrees that she and the kids shouldn't suffer because of it.
Get him the help he needs, and if he refuses to go to counseling, consider ending the marriage. You can't help him if he won't help himself, and if he isn't willing to do that for you, the woman he promised to love and cherish, that pretty much shows you how you're going to get treated for the next 50 or so years of your life.
comment 635 no one said he doesnt deserve love but dont be stupid either. HE cant love her like she needs and he cant be loved like he needs when he is going through that. He asnt in any shape to even try to love her when they got together
Everyone needs love.
8:55,6:48,4:22,9:03 I hope to god you ladies don't have to go through it cause I see any big illness that happens with your husband you will leave him cause the first thought you have it to why even be in the situation which shows how immature you are...you don't seem the type to try to look things up and see coping habits first before you pack up and leave and thats just sad and very selfish cause you need someone to love you perfectly...people with this mentality need to not give advice at all cause you make the world want to be negative along with you! STFU girls (notice I used girls not women
I understand what you're trying to say, but when you get into a relationship KNOWING that someone has an illness, why would complain about the way they act due to that illness?
No, I would not leave my husband if he was sick (god forbid). Thanks for judging what I would do in a situation when I write a two sentence response, I feel like we're already friends! However, I wouldn't have gotten involved in a relationship in the first place if I knew I couldn't cope with it, or until I knew the person was better if I didn't like the way their sickness affected their ability to have a relationship. My situation is completely different, my husband didn't have PTSD when we met, she got into a relationship with full knowledge of his illness. The OP put herself into the situation. It wasn't like he got PTSD after they were married, he had it before they even met! Shouldn't she be the one trying to research it and develop coping skills?
11:01 She is on here trying to get advice and not wanting to get shit for starting the relationship with him knowing he was sick. I have seen some who have it and are fine after getting help...maybe she needs to vent...I am sure you have done it..so unless you are supportive and not a straight up bitch then don't leave a comment about how she's wrong and your so fucking perfect. STFU too 11:01
You don't choose the person you fall in love with, but you do choose to support them with all your being. As someone who was married to someone who suffered severe PTSD and depression after a deployment I understand what you're going through. Unfortunately for me, the VA was too little too late in the development of PTSD programs and I lost my husband to the PTSD and depression. I now do my best to help support wives and families that are learning to deal with the emotional troubles they are facing. To be able to support your husband better make sure that you are getting the counseling you need too. There are many programs that you can look into for support and make sure your husband knows that you love him and support him completely. I know many families that have made it through your situation and I commend you for standing by your man.
