Thanks for letting us know how you are doing, Trina! Getting the legal guardianship for Martin is a big hurdle overcome...and that should help you help him a bit more now.
I'm glad you have someone to talk to, as well. I doubt you have the energy or inclination for any torrid love affair with an old friend at this point! You'll probably be a good support for him, too.
Hugs to you and your children...
Jo

Hi Trina!
I am so glad to hear from you! I was starting to wonder how you are! I am so glad that you won guardianship! I hope this can be the corner you needed to turn towards full recovery for your family.
*hugs*

Trina,
So very glad to hear from you and that you got the legal guardenship. Slowly but surely it moves forward. Will continue praying. Hang in girl, having someone who gets it and encourages you is important, and he continues to reasurre you about your love for your husband. That is a god thing to be reminded of, especially that you hate the disease and not him. It is tough going but girl I am proud of you for coming to his aid when he cannot for himself.
Carol Sue
Enjoying life. |

Hi Trina,
After reading this discussion, you have opened my eyes to the very real effects of war and the toll it can have on families and military members. My DH is currently in Iraq for a one year tour...we talk twice a week & write emails daily...and I am very sensitive to the tone of his voice and messages for fear of depression setting in. More importantly, I feel greatly for you during this time and am so proud of your commitment to yourself, your family and your husband. I will keep you in my prayers. Warmly, Erica |

Dear Trina,
Glad to hear that things are slowly progressing for you!
I just finished a book called "When Joy came to Stay" that you might like. (Karen Kingsbury is the authoress) about dealing with depression - the issues are not the same of course but you still might find it a comfort.
I hope hubby is making progress!
The Lord bless you today,
Holly
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

Dear Trina,
Please take care of yourself and your children. I have dealt with PTSD with my adopted children who's father also dealt with it from the Vietnam war. It is a horrible disorder but keep fighting for help. I too am a Army mom with one son being deployed for Iraq for the second time. It worries me as his father had PTSD and he also was diagnosed with it at age 6 (long story). My oldest son is being deployed to Korea and I'm waiting on orders with my youngest that can come any day. The military is a very hard way of life and affects more then those who fight for our freedom. We all have to stick together and lean on each other for help. Please lean on those who you feel help you the most and stray from those who you feel do not help you (ie old consular) Pray God is ALWAYS listening and will carry you when you feel you can not go on. You and your family are in our prayers.
3 Blue Star Mother and Proud of it!
Pray for our troops to come home safe and soon.
Enjoying the road to the simple life :>) |

Also just finished reading "While they're at War" which is a good read for wives or families who have no clue what a military wife's life is really like while they're gone! Doesn't deal to much with PTSD but some.
Hugs,
Holly
