Combat PTSD

[marinesgirl]

I just wanted to write this thread because I've been in a relationship for 2 years with a man who has been in combat too many times to remember, had a horrible childhood, and suffers from PTSD. The past two years have been very rough but i love him. Sometimes I think that I'm crazy because i stay with him and all the time i think to myself "you have God's gift in your hands". I've made my life about military people all around at work and home. I'm an occupational therapist at the Minneapolis Veteran's Hospital. I wasn't dating my fiance while he was overseas but i did know him as a friend and he's told me many things that he's never told anyone about Iraq. I'm sure i'll be writing about some problem that arrises with our relationship in the future but for now hello to everyone. and please feel free to mail me or write back on this post.:)
