Infidelity Counselors Va
PTSD Military?
My bf was in Iraq right in the beginning when all of this went down 5yrs ago. He got out of the military, but is experiencing a lot of symptoms of PTSD. I knew the day he got home he had it, but it was my fault for not addressing it at the time. Here it is years later, and it’s worse than ever. I feel I don’t even know this man anymore and he’s very distant. He’s gotten into heavy drinking, and he may have strayed to infidelity. After 6yrs of being together he states he’s not sure what “love” is anymore. I’ve been trying to get him to see a VA counselor, and he is now stating he may end up going to see one. I try to talk to him and he tells me i’m a psycho and insecure. What am I supposed to do? Please help.
PTSD is ab i t c h. I know it’s a fine line for you to walk, because he just might hurt you physically or emotionally. I want to tell you not to take the insults personally, he’s not himself; but you know that. I can only suggest calling or contacting a local chapter of the Disabled Vets (DAV) or VFW, or some other veteran’s advocacy group to come over and talk with him, casually, and let him know he’s supposed to be f’d up in the head after what he did and saw, if he weren’t that would really be a problem, and to tell him that there is so much help right now for him. The VA medical programs are overtaxed, but guys of your bf’s era are getting priority, and lots and lots of private psychiatrists and psychologists are volunteering their time to help with the burden on the VA system right now.
There are so many workgroups and support groups, I can’t even begin to tell you how great the VA is. On http://www.va.gov you can find a crisis number under the medical benefits, and you can call them on his behalf if he’s out of control, and there is other information there as far as what he’s entitled to and what help he can get. I hope you two find what you need, they can help.
