You’ve invited him to the things he loves doing, but he never feels like doing them anymore. Sometimes he yells a lot—really overreacts. But when you ask him what’s wrong, he denies any problems.

You’re happy he is back from Iraq, but you thought it would be different. You thought you could get back to normal.

You thought that having him home safe would make both of you happy again. he’s not at war anymore—why is he acting this way?

Your loved one may have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). continue reading »
