Sad. He was so caught up in the connection he thought he didn't have he failed to recognize that he was a part of something great, the USMC of these United States of America. He should know that not everyone is a trigger puller or kicking in doors; but for the fact that you are a part of the armed forces--embrace that, hold your head high & serve with honor. Being a radio op is honest work & important. That was his watch. Sad, indeed. Honor above all. Shamefully weak character. Sad.

Its awsome! It is great to hear how you figured out how to talk to Chris at night. The right approach makes so much difference. Any startling noise and I would wake up swinging. For me it was hearing my pet name that brought me back into place. By the way... have you thought about some rubber or felt bumpers on the cabinet doors? Like the kind you find at a big box hardware store for the backs of pictures. It might save you some sleep too. ;-) Well first of all I just love your new layout. Its awsome!

Please accept my appology for any redundance the following may produce. I went on Disability when I got into three fights that stemmed from flashbacks. Your hands get sweaty, your mouth dry and you hyperventilate. I swing out wildly, taking action, any action to avoid freezing or fleeing in the face of danger. But when a judge ordered a sheriff with gun at his side to escort me away from the assistant district attorney and back toward the defense table in court, I knew I needed help. I got it in PTSD program at Coatesville (PA) VA Medical Center and picked up many coping mechanism, one of the best was mindfullness meditation. I still get mad, but it disipates quicker when I can close my eyes, become still, and seek the peace within. Good luck.

It has taken me years to realize where the anger comes from and how a soothing a word, even a smile can draw me back from entrenching myself in a flashback. I wish you and Benny continue to provide the affection that will be needed by your loved one. Michael J It is gratifying to read of people like you who understand PTSD.

I guess some people are just so numb that that have no idea how they are effecting others. Someone did that on a forum I was on about four years ago. I still haven't gotten that image scrubbed from my mind. That’s pretty messed up. I guess some people are just so numb that that have no idea how they are effecting others.

Now I'm doing some of my own which shock me - I'm WILLINGLY sticking with a tough situation instead of running for the hills. Call me crazy, but I'm gonna stick with it if it kills me. Well, I hope not, but I'm gonna endure. It's not gonna be pretty, and I might whine once and awhile, but that's just my coping style. ;) I’ve done plenty of ‘uncharaceristic changes’ myself in the last 15 years that shocked the death out of my family so I know what you mean, trust me.
