Here's a website I found that might help explain PTSD to your family/friends. So hard to find good resources for them.

This was great information! Thankyou Daisy. I am new to this community, and I'm here primarily because my husband suffers from severe PTSD as a result of childhood physical abuse. We've been together two years, and as a caregiver, its affected my health and wellbeing. I love my husband very much, but don't want to live a depressed and isolated life. If anyone else is familiar with my situation, please write! Franni

Thanks. It's funny how she gets it all so right. I was trying to explain how I felt to my husband today and the "emotional anathesia" part was put better than I could say it. Thanks again

Thank you so much for that link, Daisy! I read it last night and thought about it all day. Between that and this group, I found the courage to talk with my husband about PTSD tonight. It was scary, but I'm glad I did it. He was awesome, and asked what *we* are going to do to make it better. The first thing is that I will print out that article for him. It's right on!
