Support for Wives of Vets with PTSD

Corrales, New Mexico, United States

I've looked all over the internet for a group of women who have veteran husbands with PTSD. Since there's lots of support for our men and none for us I thought I'd put it together myself.

My husband is a Vietnam Veteran who is disabled with PTSD. We love each other very much but It's not always enough. It's hard to comunicate because he's afraid to get close. This leaves a big gap in our lives. He's living on the edge of losing it to anger all the time. I have to be careful with words and actions so he won't misinterpret what I mean. This is real trying at times. I know there's more women like me out there.
