When I came home from overseas wounded I was an entirely different man. My wife has had a very rough 18 months holding my (often "unresponsive" ) hand through it all. I had/have sever PTSD, TBI and PCS. For a very long time I couldn't carry on a conversation past 2 sentences without "dissapearing". I know that the man she got back was not (and never will be) the one she sent off to war (for the 4th time). It tokk me a long time to come back to the point I am at now and I know what a struggle it was for her, and in some ways still is (she deals with my waking up screaming and my constant pain). Now that I am in a state where I can recognise that I ensure she always knows how much I appreciate all that she has been through in the last few years. They who tend the wounded are also wounded themselves.....Be patient George. She may not be done healing and "coming home" yet.

I am also always here to chat if you need a shoulder.
