My husband was diagnosed with PTSD and our marriage is taking a hit from it. Any suggestions on what to do?

I love my husband with all my heart and soul but he is angry all the time and is taking it out on me. He has never hit me but his words are worse. We haven't slept together in over 4 months. I just don't know what to do. Is there anything I can do to help us get through this?My husband was diagnosed with PTSD and our marriage is taking a hit from it. Any suggestions on what to do?
Oh God this is difficult. In sickness and in health they say, but that;s not always easy.


If you really love him you have to be strong and remember that he is ill.


Talk to doctors and try to get as much outside support as possible.


It may ultimately be too much, but you have to try.................remember the guy you fell in love with; he's still in there somewhere.


Hope it worksMy husband was diagnosed with PTSD and our marriage is taking a hit from it. Any suggestions on what to do?
(you can't control other peoples feelings and how they express them the only thing you can control is your feelings and how you express them. try marriage counseling i know people say it a lot but it will help both of you get in touch with your feelings and find ways not to be verbally abusive it does take about a year to complete but what you learn could save your marriage and make both of you better people for knowing the information given to you. (good luck)
He definitely needs professional help as well as support from family and friends. PTSD doesn't effect only the person but those around also, like you. You guys need to go to counseling, and don't try to do it yourselves. A friend of mine (military) in the last year has gotten back from his tour, had PTSD and his wife left him and his kids won't talk to him. He became suicidal and now he's up and down.





See to it that all of you get professional help. Without it, I'm not really sure all of you will make it through together.





Good luck...PTSD isn't an easy obstacle but you guys can figure it out. Check out the site below for info
Of course there is. Take him to a physician as soon as possible. If you love your husband then do what is best for him. If he won't go on his own then you need to tell him how you feel and that you think it's best that he get help if he wants to continue a relationship with you. Don't be afraid to tell someone how you feel.
This is like asking, ';My husband was diagnosed with cancer and our marriage is taking a hit from it. Any suggestions on what to do?';





Yes, get treatment for the problem! PTSD is an illness, and it is a serious one that is unlikely to go away on its own. Therapy is an absolute must.
He obviously needs some professional help. You love him with your heart and soul, but if he can't get help to stop treating you that way, then you need to leave. It only takes a SECOND for things to escalate to physical violence, Then where would you be? Right here on Y!A asking if anyone knows a good battered women's shelter in your area.... Get him some REAL help, it's the only way.
If he isn't seeing a therapist once a week, he needs to be. Sometimes, the medication isn't enough, depending on the recency of the trauma.





Some people are just stubborn and think therapy is for cowards and weaklings. I'm stubborn and strong as a mule, but when I need help, I get help.
He is the one who needs counseling/help. If he is unwilling to get help, then you have to decide if this is what you want for the rest of your life. My ex would not get help....and took everything out on me. One day it did turn physical, and that's the day I walked..... Don't let this happen to you.......
if he military, go and talk to his commander if your husband is not willing to get seek help on his own. also you can go talk to a chaplin. if not military find someplace that has counseling for PTSD.
Get a good divorce laywer. Sadly, sticking around will only make it worse. Many of these guys wind up beating or even killing their spouses! Don't be mad at him, be mad at George Bush for sending him to that funked up war!
Yeah that's the new fad in psychology.





My suggestion is to read this. And I do mean ALL of this. It has some controversial views, but the message is crystal clear.

Find ways to ease his pain. Not having sex for 4 months may make anyone grumpy.





Go and read the book ';The proper care and feeding of husbands';.
He needs therapy and medication. Tell him you want to work it out, but he has to put effort forth also. What was the cause of PTSD?
