Food for thought!

AnnaMariaQQss
I can relate to everyone on this. My concern for us in these situations it can/will emotionally hurt us. I found it important to myself, once I decided I was in it for the long haul, was seeking out consoling for myself so I could respond in a positive, helpful way. Please take care of yourselves as your happiness is the key to being helpful to that loved one with  PTSD. Best of wishes, Anna

I think that is very sound advice.  At times we do need to put ourselves first in order to be useful to the ones that rely upon us to get through.
