@MrsKatherineArch it's tough handling it done days. Mine has PTSD. I couldn't imagine what these men had gone through.
MrsKatherineArch · 41-45, F
And good luck getting him to open up to you. Mine only opens up to fellow veterans. @aradia11

@MrsKatherineArch that's a sore spot w these guys. When I point out his bad behavior etc..he gets quiet and doesn't want to discuss..
Mine is also codependent!

It’s a difficult line to get across, isn’t it? Mine doesn’t say anything negative to me, or do anything inappropriate, but I can tell when he is hurting. It breaks my heart that I can only give him my love and support. It’s one of those times I wish I could make all of his pains go away. But he does stay active with his VFW buddies, so that definitely helps him. @aradia11

There’s a mutual respect IMO game veterans and we find it easier than talking to a civilian that hasn’t experienced being in a combat zone
I was in Desert Storm@MrsKatherineArch

My husband was in that one too. I get it. @Vegasfor30
