Sometimes we must let go of that which we love, we may need to lose everything to realize what is important. <br /><br />Anony 2, Good advice. We do need our space when our heads are in the Fog of War.<br /><br />Anony 3, honestly I do not see how you surmised your statement from this article. No, not all veterans or active duty personnel have these issues. A significant amount of Combat Veterans will develop these kinds of issues. This blog is mostly about me and my journey with Combat PTSD. The second line opens with, "I have been struggling with the opening up and closing down myself...." Yep, that's me talking about me. <br /><br />Recently Stanford University stated that 35% of servicemembers have or will develop PTSD, over 800,000 men and women with similar issues as above. You keeping up?<br /><br />Nothing they can do about it? I guess you ignored Anony 2's advice and failed to read any of my articles on what I did about emotional detachment or PTSD management.Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-24857361753328258512011-09-15T05:19:14.859-04:002011-09-15T05:19:14.859-04:00So, am I understanding this correctly.....all mili...So, am I understanding this correctly.....all military men and women are emotionally detached with their spouse, or with anyone they're in a relationship with? If this is so, is it temporary or permanent? I find it difficult to believe that everyone who's been in the military is emotionally detached and theres nothing they can do about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-28136820011862023652011-04-01T19:26:07.504-04:002011-04-01T19:26:07.504-04:00I am so sorry to hear that.

That is terrible, but he needs to recognize he has a problem, if he can't, and is unwilling to get help for both of you, then moving on is the best choice. <br /><br />I just started dating a guy who came from Afghan. a year ago. We were crazy for eachother, until one day he stopped talking to me all at once, and I know why. I've seen patterns of him struggling to express emotion, he even hesitates right before we become intimate. Nonetheless he needs his space, and he knows I will always love him. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-18121431216821772522010-08-26T17:47:00.041-04:002010-08-26T17:47:00.041-04:00imagine being the other person.

After 28 years together,3 trips to Iraq,and being trated for PTSD for the last 5 years, I was told 2 weeks ago he has not loved me for 5 years. e wants out of the marriage, has made up his mind is not interesed in marraige counseling. I get no choice, no part of the decision process. I suffered childhood abuse, I know what PTSD feels like. I'm just angry and lost. The Army fucked him up I should be compensated for my ruined life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
