I am a 100% Combat Disabled Military Veteran with 50% disability resulting from severe stress of my 249 combat missions on fixed wing Gunships in Viet Nam. I have worked with VA Counselors to assist me with acceptance and understanding the causes and cures of PTSD, I find the most useful assistance is training people around me as to the cause and effects of PTSD
The abused family members have it harder to deal with heir PTSD that the veterans because they do not have the support structure that we as veterans have. I therefore ask that we all try to understand their plight.

@rogerbon- Welcome to Connect. Thank you for fighting for our liberties. I am the same age or thereabouts as you. A few of my college friends were drafted and some didn't return. My step son was in the navy and after his first tour, during desert storm he came back a much different person. And to this day he wont do anything about his PTSD.
I agree that what has helped me the most is my volunteer work here as a Mentor, helping others. It's the best antidote!
Thank you for joining us and I hope that you can stick around and help us understand more!
