I am a wife of a military member who has been diagnosed with PTSD. He serviced in Viet Nam as a Marine. Over the years I knew he needed help to handle his memories but as most things like this the soldier needs to admit that he needs the help. His final straw was when his daughter joined the service and was sent to Iraq. It hit him hard and when she came home he finally admitted he needed help. Which is great and he is doing good. But what I want his some help so I can help him. The military has the help for the alcholic but it does not teach you how to handle when the PTSD side. I am not sure how to speak to him or do I do things to cause the problem to react again. I want to know how I can help.
