What is PTSD

Post Tramatic Stress Disorder occurs most often after any kind of tramatic event. For example my husband was in the Viet Nam war. Him and his buddy signed up for the army together, went through boot camp together, and finally off to VietNam together. From the bits and pieces I have been told they weree in combat and all of a sudden my husband felt a burning sensation. He wiped his face off then looked over at his buddy only to realize the side of his buddies face was blown off. He then stood up and started shooting and got shot himself. He never forgot that day and he never will. It has caused a lot of problems in his life including ptsd. It is not easy for a kid to see war and actually come back home. They change dramatically. It take a lot of therapy to cope with all he saw. People don't realize how much we aren't told in time of war. And he went through all this. For what? To be called a baby killer and be looked down upon by some fellow Americans he was fighting for. With that being said. Till next time
