Dealing with a wife that doesn't understand PTSD. Any others with marriage problems?

I had the same mindset initially (me having to deal with the wife that didn't understand)....some of that misunderstanding belonged to me. I know I have changed after every deployment.

My wife and I had some issues when I came home. On occasion we still do. But we find a way to sit down and talk it out before it gets blown out of control.

I am a wife of someone with PTSD. Many people asked me why I stayed with him. My answer to all was "He is sick and I made a vow". When he became verbally abusive to my kids I had no choice but to give him an ultimatum. He needs to get help or we're out. He got help for 30 years and his last visit was 8 weeks before he past. He still couldn't show love to us but he was a changed man.
