By the way, do you know that Risible means loves to laugh? Actually, according to websters, it's "able or inclined to laugh". So we have a lot in common! I may not seem very risible these days, but laughing and being happy is my true nature.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I'm so glad to hear that your husband is finally understanding what you're living with. That gives me hope and encouragement. I've known him for just over five years (he's my second marriage) and he's known the PTSD side of me that whole time. Prior to head bonking, the PTSD wouldn't rear its ugly head very often, but when it did- he didn't get that either, even though I explained where it all came from.

I told him in a very loving way, that I think it's great that he doesn't understand, because the very reason he doesn't 'get it' is because he had such a wonderfully happy childhood. I'm truly happy for him for that, so I'm OK that he doesn't get it.

That's why these forums are so important. It's not important that everyone in my life understands. It's only important that someone does. So thank you for your encouraging response.

A baby, huh? How AWESOME!
