Hello rcjk, You helped already. I have never met so many, sincere, caring People. It does my heart good! For me it means so much. I have PTSD and I know you all are sincere. Meeting your husband was a "Love Story." I to try to do funny things to make him laugh, make sure his laundry is done, Healthy good meals. He seldom shows feelings, I will look into the Post Intensive site, April. My husband is not protective I used to be able to handle that because I was Independent. I worry also about what this does to him. I always say "I'm sorry" "I feel so guilty" I took know it's not Logical. I'm tryingcnot to do that but he is not a communicator, I am. What is he thinking? It was nice meeting you. Wishing you both a Happy Day!

@kimspr3 this is Rhoda. @rckj. Glad to hear from you and glad I could help a little. The loss of some of my independence bothers me too and I’m always apologizing or not asking or asking timidly. It’s a tough one. I have some PTSD too, also an ongoing struggle. But things do improve and I am fortunate in my choice of husband! I’m lucky he is a communicator like me. Sometimes making decisions on which way to go on a medical decision is hard but we do have therapeutic help. I highly recommend it. It helps us figure out which way to go next and how to stay emotionally close, despite the obstacles.
Hope to talk again and wishing you all the best, Rhoda @rckj
