I started writing this blog as a way to get my feelings out, as my way of saying that a soldier having PTSD is not the end of the list of people it affects. The entire family of the soldier is affected and it isn't easy for any of the people involved. Some days I want to scream at people who look at my family weird when my husband is getting agitated at nothing. They look at me with pity and I hate it! They don't understand that my husband isn't just being a jerk, he's actually trying really hard not to take it out on me, it's something that he fights to control on a minute to minute basis. My husband is a soldier, at work and at home. He fights not only for his country but also to control the beast inside of him. And I am there doing my best to support him through it, it's not easy but he is very worth it!
My wish is that the people of the world would understand and not judge him, or me, for living our lives in the best way that we know how. Yes, we struggle some days but he is worth each and every second. I will go through the tough moments so that I can have the tender ones... My request is that anyone who reads this will try not to judge someone else's situation based on a single moment as you have no idea what might be going on. I have no doubt that my husband loves me more with every breath he takes, the same way I love him. And for that reason, we will continue to fight our way through this illness the best way we know how, together!
