I am a wife of a Vietnam Veteran with P.T.S.D. It's a struggle not day to day but from moment to moment. You never know when the mood will drastically change. Do I blame him - NEVER! There will always be issues, & honestly how could there not be. I talk with Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans and their families, it's hard and I can't say I understand because I wasn't there, but I'm here as a wife, as a friend and as a Mother of 2 sons that may be in a war when they are older and honestly it scares me. I think for the most part people are generally afraid of not being accepted, understood or ridiculed for their true feelings on various subjects. Sometimes I get calls on www.ingenio.com where they don't want advice, they just need to yell, vent, get all the frustrations out of their systems. That's what I'm here for as well. I know many adults who still act and treat others in very childish ways. I also love to talk about news, politics and Religion, the usual hush hush conversations, both those are my passions. There is much to learn in those areas though, I don't want people to think I like to talk about them because I know so much about them, actually I enjoy them because there is still so much more to learn about them. Everyone has different opinions on Politics and Religion, I love to hear them all, I'm sure we won't always agree, but it is always a learning process.
