HOW PTSD AFFECTS DAILY LIFE.
Do Not Become His PTSD Caregiver.
, when a man’s wife becomes his ‘caregiver,’ the natural order of marriage is destroyed. If a woman acts like your mother, it is impossible to be intimate with her. Melissa and I talk about how PTSD affects us as a couple in daily life.
Yes, there are times that Melissa, ‘cares’ for me and steps in and helps me in a difficult time. Never once she has assumed the role of a ‘caregiver’ and has never treated me like I was a ‘retard/mentally unstable/idiot/liar/moron/faker/the worst thing that ever happened to her’…never.
She has only every treated me as her best friend, her lover, her husband, the difference is immense in our daily life. At the end of every chapter of #dealwithit – living well with PTSD, she talks about how we have faced and will always face our future and challenges together.
