I remember years ago when we hadn't a clue about PTSD, and dh was being treated for depression by a PA.  I had to go to see her for something, I think a hurt finger.  She told me how much she like my dh.  At that time, I said would you like for me to tell you what is wrong with my dh.  Of course she said yes.  I said Vietnam.  I remember her acting so surprised. But she said you should make him talk about it.. of course at that time we never or should I say he never did.  But her advise to was to go rent the movie Platoon and watch it with him. I did and we watched it together.  I  don't think a word was spoken.  I do remember when it was over I asked him if that was really like it was in Vietnam.  I remember his answer, "No, it was much worse than that."   I've never watch another war movie with him. 

Sometimes I feel I'm too obsessed with reading about PTSD and the Vietnam war.

I forgive myself for having believed for so long that...
I was never good enough to have, get, be what I wanted.
