[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 566082, member: 1514"] I dont think anyone lives Leave it to Beaver or The Cosby Show though when I was young I used to long for Bill Cosby to adopt me...lol. The shows in the 80s that were all perfect happy families were just good wholesome tv families. I think most families are a whole lot more like Roseanne. She had a houseful of difficult child's and her and her husband were fat and worked blue collar jobs that barely paid the bills. I really related to her. LOL. Now I do think there is a whole lot going on with your husband his having ptsd and there isnt much you can do about that. I would definitely look into some type of support group for you as the spouse of a Wounded Warrior. Im sure they are out there. In fact,that is who I would contact for support. My oldest son is dating a woman who served overseas and she has some physical injuries as well as PTSD and it is hard. He does support her and even attends some of her counseling appointments at the VA. That would be another resource for you. The VA is free for vets who are discharged. Or at least she is going free. She has been approved for some amount of service related disability. Maybe you could talk your husband into going to see someone there. I do know it is tough for men though. Your husband is probably trying to control you as a way of trying to control everything in his life because he feels he cant control anything else. I think if you go to therapy on your own they can advise you best as how to proceed. While our first instinct is to say "oh hell no" that might not be the best thing in your situation. Your situation is unique. I do think you need to get into some sort of therapy though with someone who specializes in the spouses of men and women coming home from the war. We really cant tell you that exact information. [/QUOTE]
