Not just PTSD. Three men on my crew got "Dear John" letters from their wives during my tour in Viet Nam. Separation doesn't always make the heart grow fonder.

That is true. I have seen plenty of young PTSD soldiers lose their wives and kids because of the expansive difference. The wife has to be the rock while her life is crumbling due to his PTSD. I am also becoming cognizant that the end of the healing means different things to different people. My gratitude is that I am past the unbearable pain I felt, and I questioned my existence. You got to take it one step at a time and maybe you will see beauty along the way.

PS- Take the whole family to counseling. There is much that is unsaid.
