[quote=Anonymous]You realize there is a spectrum of PTSD and not everyone is affected the same way, right? I have PTSD that primarily manifests itself with hypervigilance in reaction to certain sounds and if I'm startled while asleep. It has never manifested when the kids/babies have woken me up. Those sounds are distinctive and not startling. Someone tip toeing down the hallway or turning the knob quietly, yeah, that will set me off. Sometimes dreams will set me off. Never have I gotten violent or destructive. My reactions can be startling for my DH but nothing that's anywhere close to a dealbreaker - and the response has diminished over the years. I'm nowhere near as reactive as I used to be. I saw give him a chance. As a PP said, everyone has their issues and until you get a better understanding of what his PTSD is like, you should at least be open minded.[/quote]
