I need help and not sure to turn.
DP has been signed off by the MOD as "mentally fit"
He is no where near mentally fit and even though I have tried to talk to him about it he is adamant he is fine because "my CPN said so".
He is very good at hiding his feelings except his temper which is coming out more and more often now that he has been officially put on the sick list awaiting his medical discharge in October.
I love him with all my heart, but me and the rest of his close family are struggling to deal with his outbursts.
One minute he is overly bubbly and excitable the next he is a nasty, vicious and vile man.
I don't think he can see what he is like and living with him is becoming a living nightmare.
He takes everything out on everyone else, including my 17 month old son and his 2 year old daughter and especially his 5 year old son.
I cant begin to imagine what he has been through, I only know the few snippits he has told me about beng trapped in a burning vehicle in Iraq, seeing his best mate be killed in a freak accident in Afghan and being trapped in a snatch landrover while under heavy fire and being one of the very few who survived driving over an IED in another snatch.
There are lots of charities that help service men and women with PTSD but I cant find anything on how to live with someone who is suffering with it.
